hey guys looking at getting a elapid in a while from now, whats the most hardyest friendliest elapid you can gett?
 
the guy in my snake shop plays with his tiger and iv seen him, lol
and im not even lieing gavin from scales and tails
 
cause it looks like one, I wanna find one, I couldnt spell the scientific name though so I had to copy and paste it. I know common name is lesser black whip snake

But how are you separating it from Demansia papuensis? I'm not saying you're wrong. I've just received different opinions, so I'm keen to hear more.

number 1.. looks to me to be the lesser, as it seems to have a netted appearance on its body (unless its just the picture)
number 2.. looks to me to be the greater ,it has the scattered dark blotches on top of its head and it has that pale marking around the eye...
anyway thats my guess ....
 
Stew,

Did you count the ventrals?

Cheers,
Scott
 
Had another look at demansia pics ....number one is not a lesser black ,but a marble-headed (olivacea)
its got the line across the snout and has a coma below its eye .
still saying number two is the greater black whip snake ....
