What substrate are you using molurus? |
final adult size and the prominent black marking around the edge of the dorsal pattern is a good clue to being a pimbura,
Indian/Pakistan local are very light in the patterning.
my pimbura has m.molurus on her paperwork to.
i use wood shaving for sibling's and adults alike as they like to hide and burrow in it, it's light and cheap.

I have noticed mine seem to like burrowing too, into there aspen. Do you use regular pine shavings like rodent/rabbit bedding? I have thought about this before but was worried that it may be too dusty or the odor/oils in the pine may affect the snakes. How long have you been using it and have you encountered any problems?
Cheers

I use Snow Flake which is actually for Horses, i buy it in a compact bale. This is dust free and cheaper by the bale.
Pimbura female Length is generally around 13-14 ft in Length but very round similar to Bloods but with a longer tail,
Indian can reach the same Length as Burm's.

Cheers for that! I think i will give that Snow Flake a try, im spending a fortune on aspen and orchid bark at the moment!
I guess i will just have to see how they turn out with age.
