Antaresia freaks

[FAY]

Different strokes for different folks!
I love the fact they are dark, darker the better. No different than people who really love the black diamonds. I still love the light colours as well.

Huh, I typed out a longwinded reply and it got eaten....

Anyhoo, IMHO the Elcho Islands are really attractive. As I said before, there are a few pics of them on here including some from the expo, you can see how distinctive they are.

Hugsta thanks for the run down on caramels, that is what I thought, but wasn't sure. I think they are both beautiful. I do like the discrete nature of a "single gene" morph tho, as opposed to line-bred. Either it is or it ain't (Or it's a het, but anyway...), as opposed to what seems to be the mess with other subjective things like 'hypo'...

I seen the picture from the expo you are talking about.. it doesnt say its an elcho though, just says 'Dark'.
There are pics of elcho hatchies here, as u can see they start out fairly light... Link http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/australian-snakes-37/bit-151187/

 

[killimike]

Thanks for that link Bonustokin! The question about them losing their pattern was actually asked in that thread too

About the expo ones, yeah, you're right, I meant to say that they were not definitely EI, just 'dark'. Can always ask the owner Very cool looking at any rate!

A few of these are elchos, a few aren't.

The closest snake here is a real Elcho.

And this one.

These aren't elchos, obviously.

 

[girdheinz]

My guess is hatchling 1 and hatchling 3, can pick them a mile off.

Sorry I try not to comment on these threads unless I have a picture to add but I have to say that photo with all of them lined up is absolutely fantastic. Should add what each one really is

And thanks for the pic specifically of the Elcho, looks great too.

No mate I haven't, but I'd love the opportunity... why, is that an offer? ;-)

i noticed in alot of your guys photos most of the snakes are in click clacks are they better of in these enclosures?

 

[cadwallader]

Depends on the size of the snake, but also because antaresia sp. are a small snake they can be kept well in tubs etc, but the never ending debate wether it is good for them or not will never end?

Hey guys,
I would really love to source an Elcho Is. Childreni. Does anyone here have them or able to point me in the right direction?
I love the darker colored specimens, and after seeing an Elcho Is. local Childreni I am hooked!

No-Two or Minka had some for sale.
I have an adult pair and they are very nice , pics on the net really do not do show the off well though , one of those snakes you need to see in the flesh to get a good idea on the look.
