Cheers dude, that particular female is the only Ladder I now keep. She's 15 yrs old and we both enjoyed the photo shoot. She liked to hiss and strike the lens, I liked taking pix of her as I haven't got any decent pix (and still haven't of many of my snakes but I'm getting there now).
I had a disaster a while ago due to a fire and lost most the ladders above bar two due to smoke inhalation. At the time 4 of them were 14yrs old. I was gutted (not by the fire) and started to give them all away, thinking I was going to give up keeping snakes.... I managed to get her back after a U-turn. I'll have to get some more sometime soon, they are my favourites hands down, love 'em.
