False Cobra Watering

AKA The 2 newest of the clan... 1.1 FWC!

P.S I dont believe the whole False water cobras are dimorphic thing.. its not true in my opinion. Funny how people never looked into it. A friend of mine has "yellow" and "grey" FWC.....people say females are yellow and males are grey etc..

Thennnn why does he have a pair of yellows and a pair of greys? Why are the yellow ones heads more oval, rounder and "raised higher" (the greys have a "flatter" head that isnt as round) and why do they have a different scale count on the head as well as a slightly different pattern? IMO one is H. gigas and one is H. bicinctus...which is which...no idea! I could only imagine there is alot of crosses as well..

anyway done with my rant, PHOTOS

A friend was my model tongue

Typhoon, male FWC

Tsunami, 8 foot female....she touches the ceiling lol

woah! Tsunami is HUGE! Your couple looks pretty tame... We couldn't do shit with the one my friend had... She would strike every 2 seconds and stand like a real cobra, it was awesome. You should try to piss em off a bit and take pics! Best of luck with them!! thumright

PS. Hydrodynastes Gigas are the yellow ones I think.

LOL Ive heard of nasty Hydrodynastes..never seen one though! Ive had experience with quite a few other adults , subadults, and babies including 2 straight from the egg...never have they been really aggressive.

I agree with the yellow being gigas....they seem to be more common and gigas tend to be the more common name out there? I love the grey ones moreso either way! Not a huge fan of the yellow ones.

I've heard a lot of people say the ones they had we're really tame... At that time, I was looking to buy a pair, but then I got pregnant and decided to keep reasonable snakes instead (very severe laws where I currently reside...)
But I would definetly look for a Bicinctus in the years to come, I just can't believe how BAD ASS they are!

That's exactly the reason why I think Gigas are the yellow ones, cause they are just plain too common and I've never seen any Bicinctus in captivity also.

BTW, The pictures are really awesome, I just love the markings and the colors of this species. They are simply amazing!
Don't hesitate to post more pictures of them from time to time! Very Happy
