Can I see some pics of a full grown salmon pink birdeater?

Anyone have any pics of a full grown salmon pink birdeater?
where you can actually see the size of it, with something comparable.

Do a search on "parahybana" and you'll find a few pictures; and at least 1 or 2 will contain hands which hold said animal

chemistry equations?

Maybe they're pics of L. parahybana on the molecular level? Anyway, behold the power of google: http://images.google.com/images?q=lasiodora+parahybana&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=0&sa=N

Oh man, that's a beaut too! I love those golden rims! I'm happy I have three of those, eventhough they're still juvies...

How does it react to being picked up?

 

[DeadIrishD]

Yeah I don't think I'd have what it takes to hold one full grown, I think I'd much rather hold a full grown reticulated python.

So you wouldnt handle an itsy bitsy spider, but you'd handle a monster retic?

 

[DeadIrishD]

yeah, pretty much, I can hold my G Rosea no problem, and my "Curly Haired" but I don't know about birdeaters..... how bads their venom? and are they generally docile?

 

[herpsandinverts]

Pythons can't put venom in ya! :razz: I couldn't hold a birdeater, well a full grown one anyway.

venom...no worse than most others...just at that size those fangs are a tad intimidating (i'm guessing at that size they're at least 1/2"...my lil L.p. is only at 4", so just guessing) ;P

docile? No...not generally, bearskin and co have an unusually docile specimen, i would never attempt that with mine even at 4". The other day it was trying to fight my feeding tongs...wouldn't run away, just kept boxing at them and an occasional strike with the fangs.

I just picked up an early '05 female(already nearly three inches in diameter)in a trade today, and she's actually fairly calm. She'll kick some hairs, but I haven't seen any threat displays or stirking out with her front legs or fangs...yet. I've had her sitting on my hand, and she is no worse than most of my Rosehairs. I really am looking forward to her maturing into an impressive beast!
