| Got 3 newborns back in mid april last year, no problems getting them to feed though 1 was a little bit slower than the other 2. That 1 has now caught up to the other 2 as they reach 12 months of age. Around 6 weeks.  14 weeks  6 months  12 months   | |

| I'm not a great fan of death adders but I have to say that these are splendid looking specimens! Best of luck with them in the future as well... | |

| Very nice one, and looks very differend to the ones I have from Irian Jaya (Merauke). When I hear about the occurence of rugosus in N-Australia I was wondering about this. I´ve seen brown rugosus, but no so bright like this! Great animal, indeed! | |

| Thanks people, just a fan of the adders & the colours are just a bonus.
Just to confuse people under our species code here in Victoria Australia rugosus don't exist so these are still under antarcticus. | |

| Nice to have someone who's as big fan of death adders as I am. You have some amaizing snakes. I really like the pattern on this one. We don't have rogosus in that colour available in EU.
Best regards, BKK | |

| Agressive? I think animals (snakes) are nog that agressive as we think. I see it more like defensive.
But gorgeous animals! Got to love them death adders!
Cheers,

| Walter, as Niels said more defensive than aggressive. Feeding wasn't a problem with either rubbing the neck or tail area with prey doing the trick. | |

The two adders in this post are just fantastic. Would love a couple myself. I think they are still regarded as antarcticus over here, so I'd be able to get them legally. Let me know when you breed them!!!
