As some of you know I like cute cuddly creatures.
In my many trip up to Darwin and down to Alice Springs to see various quacks, We have been picking up various things to make the feel at home.

This was their home, excuse my finger.

Just before I had to go down to look after Dad, I feed every body, and this little fella, hasn't had a feed for over 12 months
Some how swallowed his lower jaw.

Fortunately there was a vet in town, who could pull his jaw out.
Once his jaw was in it rightful place he was happy again.

When I got him, he was about 4" long, last time I measured him he was over 1100 mm.

Some of you will remember me inheriting a couple of Woma, the previous owner didn't believe in looking after them.

They must have been happy, as when I want to feed them before I went down to dad, mum was coiled up around some eggs.
Couple of weeks after, mum poked her head out and while we were watching, two little heads pop out as well.
Three out of four eggs hatched.

Only used it for the photo, they are so inquisitive.

Most snakes should be fed a size of prey that is about the same size around as the snake's body at its widest point.
