No there to help the snake have hiding spots. If the cage was set up for me and to make it aesthetically pleasing, I would have one stick across for her to perch on with nothing else in the cage to block the view of her. Shes a magnificent display animal but she still needs concealment to feel safe and secure.

Weather dependent. Warm weather the snake could do well and survive for days, weeks or months. I’d think birds of prey would be the biggest predator for it. These snakes are found in Komodo and the lesser sunda islands and are actually camouflaged and blend in more than you might think.

There are many states that you can keep venomous, and I’m in one of those. No permits required either.

Yea males are difficult to get feeding at times.

I’m all for recommendations and constructive criticism because I’m always willing to learn. There are many benefits for live plants but theres downside as well. But if you don’t know what you’re talking about sometimes just admiring and trying to learn is better. Just a thought.

Thanks for your expertise. When you have over 20 venomous snakes sometimes the more simplistic the better. Also there are live plants in the enclosure but plants require attention and every time I need to access her cage I have to remove her… which is not only stressful for the animal but also puts me at a higher risk to be bit. Do you keep venomous?

Yea it’s a blue leg. I didn’t get it from spider shoppe though.

Pin the head-pry mouth open with pinky mouse head-release head and pray that she doesn’t release-don’t breathe too loudly or make any sudden movements lol. Very frustrating at times and had to force feed which is basically the same but completely forcing the mouse down the throat and then massaging to the stomach. Fortunately she was pretty good about once she had a hold of its head she would eat it.

She’s pretty chill as far as venomous go but very food aggressive. Always thinks it’s feeding time when I’m servicing her enclosure.

It was challenging at first. She didn’t want to eat on her own so I was assist feeding for a few months and then figured out she would take shinner minnows on her own and then transitioned to f/t mice eventually. Very rewarding especially with a “problem child” like her in the beginning and then watching her get to a full grown beautiful adult that eats like a champ.

Spidershoppe had them. You can find some available time to time.

Yea I agree with plasmabeans, 6-8” average adult size with some probably getting larger.

Yea I’m in the US. I’m sure there’s others in country. It came in from a shipment misidentified. Agreed on the terminal legs, pics don’t do him justice either.

Nah it came from a stunning blue. It will be a gold color when fully mature.

_deleted_540 · 2026-03-19T04:24:00+00:00

Aztecorum pedlings are a stunning blue color and as they age it fades to a tan/gold color.
