Mang shots

[Gary Orner]

Most of these are right after I got them or the day I got them. I try not to bother them other then feeding and watching them. I record temps and location of the animal daily. and then every other night. Also record how they react to certain prey.

This is a female. She is about 5 1/2 feet to 6 feet. She is eating Rats and is a very very aggresive feeder.

This is two mangs right after I unbagged them. The Black and White is a male and the Yellow is a Female. The Male is very calm and has never struck the female is another story. When I feed she goes after me instead. I must leave the rom for her to feed. The male eats small F/T Rats. I have a few pics of both of them.

After a few meals

Those are some nice animals, Gary. I was wondering, how toxic is the mangrove's venom?

 

[Gary Orner]

The venom is nasty but their delivery system is not up to par. It is a three finger toxin. Nothing to worry about really but there have been a few recorded bites with lasting effects.

The bad thing about larger mangs is that they hook well but they know how to use the hook to. And they love biting at your face and neck area. That is one area I would hate to take a hit lol
