My two yearlings are about the same size.One maybe a bit bigger.

 

[venskeeper]

I'd up the pinkie size elapid, or even convert to pinky rats with a bit more size on them.

 

[elapid@]

yeah ive given them a little larger food but any thing to large they wont consume and i don't want to risk injury to them.......im thinking of giving them thawed frozen skinks and fish for extra nutrition.

 

[venskeeper]

Sounds good mate. Beautiful animal too, very envious of you as I'd love one up this end, but too hot for them.

If they're the one's I think they are steve, the mum is only a small snake herself. Probably around 700mm but nothing wrong with her proportions.
Anyway they reckon size doesn't matter.
