coastal or inland Taipans

[Ricko]

Just wandering if any people on here have any taipans and any pictures of them? or if anyone breeds them? Im interested in getting them but along way down the road, but it was a hot topic of conversation the other night when a few mates and i were having a drink wanderin how many people keep them.

Cheers Rick

[Ricko]

does anyone know if peter mirtschin breeds the taipans he has or are they simply all milkers? love the coastal pic fuscus they are such good looking animals.

One of the guys at the SA herp group breeds both species, only been bitten three times :shock: Interesting thing about inlands is that they change colors according to the season, during the winter they go dark, while in the summer they go light.

ive never seen a really bright inland.

saw one at the zoo the other day that couldve been mistaken for a black snake

i saw a pic of a inland tiapan in a book and thought it was a BHP because it had an black head due to the seasonal change

spottedpython, there is no such snake as a yellow bellied black, lots of snakes can be black with a yellow belly thou.
Inland taipan.

[Supertaipan]
