sorry for the poor pictures but he's pretty active it was rather interesting earlier when he decided to tongue flick my nose

OMG he is awesome and check out that face absolutely gorgeous Marty. How big is he?

Thanks Tan, my best guess, about 8 foot or very close to it, definitely a good bit bigger than me

They are getting worse hahaha!!!!
But thats one heck of a snake!!! Nice new add Marty :)

Very nice....any blood spilled yet, lol...???

Not yet Buddy, this guy is the exception to the rule when it comes to scrubs, he's a big puppy dog i'm still a bit wary of him though, you never know, he could just take a munch at me some day.

oh sorry i missed your post Joe, Thanks dude

Well you can show him to me from the kitchen while I stand at the front door but by the sounds of things he'll still reach me lol

Tan you'll be grand, you can have a hold next time you're up. I was holding him in the shop earlier and he swung round like lightning and passed about 1 inch from a womans face lol she nearly had a heart attack

Marty you got yourself a proper snake at last - i looooove scrubs! Would love one myself!

Gorgeous, and kind of slightly evil looking as well - in a good way of course! Cheeky evil! Looking foorward to hearing how you get on with this beauty

Thanks Lisa

you know thats the first thing Tanya said to me when i brought him home today............. ithat thing looks evil as long as he doesn't act evil i don't mind lol

That's a good way to describe him, cheeky evil lol he can be all the cheeky evil he wants as far away from my face as is possible If I was that woman I'd have soiled myself.

Oh Tan, you'd love one, you are just scared to admit it to yourself!

I like evil snakes, they keep the excitement brewing around here :)

That's a Very nice Scrub excellent addition

he looks the business Marty. where did you him from?

Us Aussie python lovers......we grow in number Soon we will take over the World!

Thats one nice kick-ass Barneck in a mild-mannered package.....you've hooked a beezer python there Marty. Its rather like having the potential of Hannibal Lecter wrapped up inside Cinderella.

When I last handled that dude he probed male and was unbelievably tame....but he did a humongous dump all over one of the guys standing next to me!! I think they created the term 'whitewash' from that episode.

Oh you do paint an errr, pretty picture Karl

Congrats on the new addition Marty, he's a real beauty
The head on these guys is unreal

Cheers Karl, this guy is awesome, he is really mild mannered, he's also very inquisitive and really fast, if this guy decided he wanted to bite you, he's gonna bite you regardless of what you do and from what i can gather they pack a hell of a bite.
We probed him again in waynes yesterday just to be sure and he came out male 8 scales deep i think it was. no white washing though, although he did deposit a small amount of whitewash on my hand last night, he seems a bit nervous when i'm lifting him out of the viv, to be honest i'm a bit nervous too, so we'll just need to take a bit of time to get used to each other
