Thanks .
I have no idea what any of them are like to keep , but I like the look of 'Hops' the most.

While i'm not 'anti Hop's', it is true i'm not a fan of them. I just realised that i have never taken a single photo of any of them despite having owned all three types at various times over a 15 year period.

I guess that show's how much they interest me.

Hi shane ,
What is it about 'Hops' that doesn't interest you as much the Elapids you do keep.
Is it look , or behavior , are they particularly fussy etc ?

shane is the fussy one he prefers pythons these days....hops look good but CAN BE fussy feeders and are harder to breed then most other elapids.

15years ain't you like 30 something? did you start of on pythons?

In my opinion they just dont have the personality of the large elapids. Dont get me wrong, i'd prefer them over most python's, but they dont compare to the big boys.

Some elapid pics from this year (and one from last year).

Pygmy mulga snake (Pseudechis 'weigeli')













Marsh snake (Hemiaspis signata)



















Pale-headed snake (Hoplocephalus bitorquatus)








Road-killed grey snake (Hemiaspis damelli). She was gravid with about 10 near-term babies. They're all in the Queensland Museum now.







Dwyer's snake (Parasuta dwyeri)








A muddy spotted black snake (Pseudechis guttatus)






De Vis' banded snake (Denisonia devisi)










I found this ugly thing on the weekend. Anyone know what it is?

Nice photos RDU. The last one is a small eyed snake, Rhinoplacephalus nigrescens.

Cheers Rossco.

Hahaha. I spent my youth looking for Black's, Brown's, Tiger's and Copperheads. The Hop's and python's didnt exist back then.

I'm just pacing myself.
