Or Rofous Beaked Snake to you and me....

He belongsto a close freind of mine. SHe saw him and fell in love with him. He came to her with a few mites and an eyecap. But nothing that couldnt be sorted with a bit of treatment and a decent shed.

He is such a character, he loves roaming, digging, burrowing and is a fierce feeder (rear fanged). He is a few years old and is quite lengthy. I'd guess and easy 4ft plus. (Im 5'10 and in the pictures).

He has an amazing head twitch, as they all do, that go side to side when he see's movement. He also backs up quite impressivly as well. His head and front qtr stay still while his tail and body back up behind his head. Really amazing to watch.

Anyways, here is Pharaoh




He has his eye cap here



He becomes a speed demon in the sun

That is the most gorgeous and unusual snake, and a very heartwarming rescue story too. Love the name Pharaoh.

You don't see many of these around... or I haven't anyway. It's nice to see one. He looks like he's having a good time with you friend : )

I like the name too, seems to suit him.

Just me and my zoo.

Few vids, not the best quality but you can see how jumpy and skitish he is.
These were just after feeding and he was on the hunt still.

WOW that is one fast snake. I've never seen anything like that, it also looked like it was barely making an effort so I guess it really can shift when it goes for it.
