From all the guys in East London a big thank you to Arno! We all had a fantastic time and learned a lot. To anyone thinking of doing this course you will not regret it! Once again thank for an awesome day!
Firstly it is illegal to do that. This is a wild snake and should remain that way. If it dies from starvation or disease it provides a meal for something else. You put the animal at far more risk by keeping it and feeding it. On another note the colouration is very interesting I have only ever seen ...
I may be way off here, but it almost looks like its spreading a partial hood. I would say young snouted cobra, but the picture does make the identification very hard.
Wow, that’s is nice looking enclosure and even a nicer looking Californian King Snake . Keep up the good work! Don’t worry too much about handling, they don’t tend to mind it once they get used to it. What are you using as substrate?
That GTP is a beauty! I love the black speckling, it looks very much like the mite phase ones I I have seen on overseas sites. Lets hope it keeps he or she keeps those colours!
That is one stunning GTP! I’m surprised by the quick colour change. Mine went from red to yellow and are only starting to get the odd green fleck here and there, and its nearly two years later. Very nice setup you have there too.
That’s one beautiful Boomslang. Thank you for the excellent pictures, I agree with Westley, there are definitely a few there I would enlarge and frame!
That B.c. occidentalis is really nice. I didn’t realize we were fortunate enough to have any in the country. I really hope she drops tons of babies for you!
TonyK, I’m in the Eastern Cape, so thankfully Cape Nature doesn’t apply, and as I said it is highly unlikely at the moment that any permits would be done away with. These are simply rumours at best.
