View Full Version : Dude, my male Moluccan
k-arbogast 11-05-2008, 01:53 PM 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!!!

Love this pic.... he is goldern, literally!
Rapture 11-05-2008, 02:18 PM Great animal and photos as always, Kevin. Thanks for posting.
k-arbogast 11-05-2008, 03:53 PM 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!

Sputnik 11-05-2008, 05:52 PM Beautiful shots Kevin.... what's your take on the Florida permit system?
Tosha 11-05-2008, 06:03 PM Kevin -- as always those are great shots of beautiful animals -- you know I love that Dude -- thanks for the updated picts! :rockon::rockon:
earthpig23 11-05-2008, 06:32 PM wow some serioulsy nice shots of an excellent specimen you got there.
k-arbogast 11-05-2008, 08:29 PM Beautiful shots Kevin.... what's your take on the Florida permit system?
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.
JChandler 11-05-2008, 08:36 PM Some killer shots man!
Larry 11-05-2008, 09:08 PM Wow man he is awesome.. Very nice shots as well..:rockon:
Badass Kevin...What camera you shooting?
CBMorphs 11-06-2008, 08:55 AM Wow, great pics!!
k-arbogast 11-06-2008, 02:01 PM Badass Kevin...What camera you shooting?
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.
