Well, Rob asked for more scrub pics so I thought I'd show off some that I have taken of Dude over the last couple years. He has a savage feeding response, but once he feels the hook his body language completely relaxes. This is my personal favorite snake ever!!!

Thanks everyone! He is definately the most chill scrub I have ever owned. I totally get Rob's fascination with scrubs, they are beautiful, exotic, and really don't ever lose that "spirit" of the wild. Some don't like them because of their fiestyness, and I really don't blame them 'cause getting hit by a scrub is no picnic, but at the same time I admire their defiant nature.

Here is a pair of Southern Scrubs that I was forced to sell because I refuse to be any part of Floridas ROC permit system. To bad too, 'cause I think these two could have made some nice babies someday!

Scott it is needed here because there were just too many people that would impulse buy a large constrictor and then dump it when it gets too big.

I just don't agree with amethystina being included in that permit system. They are not readily available, nor are they popular enough to be a problem. I think I would move if clastolepis was included because Dude is as much a part of the family as any dog or cat could ever be.

It stinks that responsible keepers are punished because of the lowest common denominator out there, but it is better than an all out ban. For me it is just to intrusive of a process and I will just chose to work with other species.

Thanks BT! The camera I use is an Olympus Sp-350. It is just a point an shoot type, but using the right settings and good lighting it takes good enough photos that I haven't been motivated to upgrade yet.
