The language of love is universal.

LOREN, how long have you had your russians? have you had any problems with them? i really dont know what else to ask, anything you would like to add?

I have had them since about september of 2007. They are pretty neat.They do seem to have a little personality. They dont get real big, which I think is good.
I dont do a whole lot with them, they just kinda live, and seem pretty content. I feed them just enough to keep them healthy, mostly romain and collared greens, and a few other things off the list on that website. They are a m/fm pair, and I have seen them mate, but no eggs yet.
I do let them shut down for several weeks in the winter, but dont give them a full-on brumation. They seem happier if I let them sleep for a while in the winter.
They live a really long time, so they are a commitment, but I also think they are pretty low maintanence. I got them for free- someone in my church needed to rehome them, and said they would rather give them to me than sell them to a stranger.
I keep them on the sand/bedabeast mixture like on the website. it works fine.

those pics are old, I will try to take some new ones and post them in my "Lorens snakes" thread soon.
