Couple of pics..
Papua New Guinea Taipan (Oxyuranus s. canni) He is a recent import that arrived about three weeks ago now. After a nice shed, two rounds of worming, and multiple meals, this guy is going to be a great snake. He will be introduced with the female in October....keep your fingers crossed.
Papua New Guinea Death Adder (Acanthophis leavis) Came in on the same shipment, has been wormed and never misses a meal!
Roti Island Tree Viper (Trimeresurus insularis) Also came in on the same Indonesia shipment. Trimeresurus insularis inhabits a few select islands off the mainland of Indonesia. These guys are pretty rare in US collections.

I love the contrast in "design structure" between the taipan and the adder, both deadly but entirely different. One is long and lithe with a relatively unpronounced noggin compared to the stockiness and absolutely brutally shaped head of the other, awesome! The tree viper is BEAUTIFUL too, the color is stunning. Are they as psychotic and homicidal as one would assume?

That roti has some fantastic yellow; the little bit of white make it like a reverse albino.

Do you handle these things often? I would be scared to death to house a hot.
