I had a pair .I sold them in 2004.I had a legal problem with my moms house after she died and had to sell them.I still regret it!My male is pictured above.My female was all black.They are similar to garters in ways.They always give you eye contact when you enter the room.Watch what you are doing.Thats where the similarities end.They are way messier and are crazy when you feed them.especially if the food is alive.If you get bit you are probally going to the hospital for stitches.They have a extremely powerful bite!
