Default Mangroves for sale.

Hi Guys,
Been thinking hard about this and decided to downsize my collection. First to go will be the trio of Mangroves B. Dendrophila 2.1
These were bought about January this year as WC, freshly imported. They've been treated for mites and internal parasites. I've tried a number of feeding technniques but so far no luck. I've been 'assist feeding' (with extreme prejudice) every couple of weeks, around different trial and error's. All 3 snakes are in good health, the female is very pretty.
These are for experienced hands only. They have all been handled regularly (obviously every 2 weeks) but can still be nervous. I'm looking for £65 ea or £150 for the trio.
N.b, will try and add pics but this is my 1st attempt so fingers crossed.

What sizes are they, the last few pics show one that's quite a size, is that the female?

The last one is a male. He's actually close to 6 ft and the other 2 are close to 5 ft but I erred on the side of caution. He is quite impressive in the flesh. If you right click on the images and select 'save image as' the pic name will come up with gender and size.

I've tried everything I could think of including, scenting, bloodying, soaking, teasing. Even tried amphibs and lizards, though obviously sticking mainly to quail chicks. When 'assist feeding' I stuck to hopper mice. I personally prefer not to use live, tho I don't judge others for doing so. Apart from the 'assist' (which was only ever done in the afternoon, obviously) all other feeding attempts were done in the evening.
B.D. are known to fast over the winter so I wasn't too concerned when I 1st got them.
If it wasn't for the fact I've a large(ish) collection, little money and less time I'd keep them.
Thanks for interest.
