I appreciate this scenario has upset you but there is NO need at all to have a go at me. Check your attitude, have a look at my post again where i told him to go to the authorities to offer help so this could be avoided and come back when you can apologise for being rude. If you can't see where you were rude then don't reply to this at all.

Oh and Karkov, i'm not defending what you did in any way. I just realise that postings on here wont stop you doing this sort of thing. I would rather make sure you do it safely IF you have to do it at all.

Well if nothing else it's nice to see people passionate about reptiles and protecting them.

Hopefully reading this thread will highlight how easy it is to make a 'quick' descision without fully thinking through the effects they may have latter on.

Also, guy's it must be hard for the two of you, both trying to make your points in a second language, well done.

Thank you, Scott!

I didn't mean to ruin this thread but raise a different issue, which I thought was more important.

Ótimo perfeito

wow, I didn't think my little question about these snakes would spark this thread. lol

Karkov - next time you're out and about, take your camera, would love to see some more pics of this beautiful snake. I take it you don't see them often?

Hi Peaches,

You can get them in this country but they are very rare, I would imagine there are a few people in Europe that will be captive breeding them but they'd be hard to track down.

Unfortunately most people don't seem to like whipsnakes and racers, mainly I think because of the speed and the fact that you have to be able to read them a little more before going in the viv.

If they are anything like other whipsnakes then they wouldn't be hard to keep at all, but as they are daytime hunters then the chances of a bite is certainly higher than say with a corn or king. But the general care is easy, and to be fair they aren't really aggressive or nasty, just more nervous.

I don't keep the horseshoe whipsnake but I do have a pair of 'Large whipsnakes' which are fairly close to them I believe, the male is very calm but the female is younger and still quite snappy.

Mike

Great pics Mike Cool

Thanks for sharing. Are you going to attempt breeding when your female is of age?
