8761There you go Steve, whats the verdict?

[guidofatherof5]

Beautiful lady you've got there.;) No doubt about it. She's a she.

[Natrix]

Thanks Steve, Just what I thought when I first saw HER! Greg YOU NEED YA SPECS CHANGING! :D

[guidofatherof5]

Since there seems to be differing opinions why don't we get a few more people to chime in on this snakes sex.

[gregmonsta]

In my defense :rolleyes: if he is a she then she be closer to a male in size for her age. Lol, with what I was presented I didn't think to check .... although ... nice unrelated breeding pair you may have there ;)

[Natrix]

I accept what Greg says, and Steve's verdict as I did suspect that the snake was a female as I had noticed a significant difference between her and my male that I obtained from Greg last year. just needed confirmation from the expert Mr radix himself. no offense Greg. ;-)

That flame is pretty damn nice :)

[guidofatherof5]

Expert:

Ex, a has-been
Spurt, what comes out of the end of a hose

No she won't. She's a "Flame":D

You know Rod, I didn't even think to look at her tail on Sunday. An unrelated pair, you may be looking at some het albino checkereds... Better get some more rubs while they're in sale.

I didn't actually really notice it myself Chris, until I took that first photo. I had noticed that the body was thicker compared to the normal one but they are roughly the same size, So if it was a male then the body would have been on the slender side. Then I noticed the tail and it is significantly different to the normal. Lucky lad I be :D

She does indeed turn aggressive when fed. She'll strike at anything that moves, not been nailed yet but it's early days :D

87648765 This girl really is a fiesty one, Must be typical of 'Red Heads' :D really defensive but I like a challenge ;)

[guidofatherof5]

Very nice, Rod.

[Natrix]

Settling in very nicely. Well pleased with the new 'Ladies' :D

Good answer Rod. You don't want to set that "Flame" off.:D

[Natrix]

Update! Both eating really well. Finally let the flame tag me yesterday. Allowed her to approach of her own accord and BAM! she struck without provocation. Got her out and she was as nice a pie. So! Is this aggression Viv defensive? OR is it likely that she is prone to random attacks of meanness? Any way she did draw blood albeit a tiny drop :rolleyes: What do you guys think?

[guidofatherof5]

I think she's reminding you who the boss is.
My "Enforcer" still gives me a false strike every time we meet. I understand where she's coming from.

[Natrix]

UPDATE!!
Hi, Guys, Just thought I would give you a fresh update on the two re-homes I got from Greg
Both are eating really w,ell to the point where the Albino T. marcianus has shed for the second time since she's been here and the Flame has gone to the 'blue' phase and should shed within the next week. This means they must be GROWING :D I have been handling the Flame with washing up gloves on, in an attempt to calm her temper, it has had some effect but not that much that you would be able to tell without spending any time with her. She's such a sweet natured thing really, ( NOT ! ):cool: BUT ONE SHALL PERSEVERE ;)
Below is a few pics of the Flame after her last shed

Beautiful. That is why they are called "Flames"
