I've only got Inlands, but from my experience with Coastals I find they are a lot more nervous, they're definately a thinking snake. You mess up once and they will do you for it. Personally I prefer the Inlands but you have to remember that they carry the animal kingdoms version of an Atomic Bomb in their mouth (as a certain documentary once put it).
A couple of pics....

are they less aggresive than coastals generally?

I don't know if I'd call it "less aggressive"....more like "I know I can screw you right up with no effort at all so I'm not putting myself out....come closer idiot human...."

I like the Inland Taipans better myself, I might just be biased though....

elapid.....I'm jealous :shock: Your girl is gorgeous. I'd put up pics of Kris' girl, but I haven't got any good shots yet And she's back to winter colours, so you don't get the "full Pandora effect"....she's such a show pony :lol:

It doesn't matter how many times I see them hatch, it's always a buzz.
