I have seen pics of "Tiger" phase ATBs that have stripes but i don't think yours would be classified as tigers?

Yeah i know what you mean. I keep my two together which means i'm having to dodge 2 mouths full of needles. Its like they practice striking together because when ever i open the cage and they lying on each other they strike at the same time at me. Awsome snakes to keep though.

Eyelash DONE! Will do some this week :)

I think standard is 2 years? I think w eight is also important with this species.

As mine is about a year old and about +- 90 cm.

nvlooi, these are pretty easy to keep, humidity must be kept reasonably high but it is easily reachable. Not as many people as you would think have them, they are underrated. My favourite exotics. Awesome new avatar by the way.

Down at the coast the humidity is very easy to achieve and keep consistent.

nvlooi i dont like boa's at all really but these are really nice thin bodied arboreal snake does it for me.

Yes, down there it is easy. As I said here it is not as easy but easily reachable with some spraying. I agree with Fooble, boa's are not really my thing either but these are just awesome.
