Cobra Update

[Hadrian]

see, this pic shows what I meant about the aesthetic virtues of cobras... they are really interesting and complex looking. Gold gill plate, red tail and dorsal fringe, pink belly and the bars still show as an adult. She's a beauty optimist.

yep, Cobras only have the reticulated pattern as juvies, Adults females turn red, looks like she has settled in nicely. She has a huge mouth, I fed her some 3" midas when she first came in. I still have 8, 4" cobras in stock. Ken

I love that!! Finally someone put some midas to a good use!!

I use midas a feeders all the time, any time I get in some wild pikes that's the first meal they get, I've also used recently used some Zebra Obliquidens and Lifalili jewels as feeders, Whatever is breeding faster than I can sell them, Pikes are worth more. Ken

very nice looking cobra ... interesting colaration indeed ... curious if the color (red in particular) intensify with age or change of diet

cobras are interesting...the red seems highly variable, unlike in T-reds. The cool thing about cobras is the complexity of colors, they have a real rainbow, lots of yellow which no-one usually comments on, gray, pink, the stripes stay somewhat evident even as adults. They are't aas much an impact to me as T-reds...but their looks are more complex.

that is some good insight into cobras and t-reds ... confirms what i know about both (sub)species .. i'm also with you on the preference ...
