I love snakes. I wish I was closer. What kind are they? We have very few different types in Utah, U.S.A. but there are a lot. Mainly rattlesnakes. They are not big, only about 5 to 6 feet max but they are beautiful. They are poisonious but unless your stupid they won't kill you. There venom is a high grade protein which softens the tissue of it's prey, mainly mice, rats and small babies. I'll try and find a picture to send you. Cheers!

these are Inland Carpets, also called Murray Darling pythons, as they tend to be located within the murray - darling river system here. There are anecdotal reports of them being almost 4 metres (over 13feet) but mostly about 6-8 feet. Ours are 7 foot (girl) and 5 1/2 foot (boy). We dont keep anything venomous.

I'll post some pics of the parents later
