[Eyelash]

Say hallo to my new babies guy's...
These snakes are just amazing and very interesting to watch...
I hope you njoy...
Female:










Male:








p.s I was wondering about one thing...even though these are considered non-venomous,they have a enlarged tooth/fang that is covered by a membrane that seems swolen and seems to produce venom...Are they maybe in the same boat as the radiated rats that has a venom/toxin simmular to cobra venom and are still considered harmless(whitch they are ?Seeing lots of people have taken bites from them...)...

[Wolf777]

Awesome man! Did you get these at the expo.

[Jen]

They are absolutely stunning! They are such interesting looking snakes. Where / whom did you get them from? I've asked around in Durban a bit but no luck so far... Congrats on your new babies!

[Eyelash]

Thanks guy's...
Jip...I got them at the show...They were in a random cage in between waterbowls ect so I doubt that many people saw them...
I got the only pair between them(the other male is being held back) haha...
Jen...check your pm haha...

[marc bt]

Ahh dude!! These are awesome, you have some interesting stuff Louis!
Where do these guys occur in the wild?

[Eyelash]

Thanks Marc...
As far as I know they occur in Northern Vietnam and Southern China...

[Wolf777]

They look so different, just amazing.

[Eyelash]

Haha...thanks wolf...

[Eyelash]

I set up their permanent cage today and thought I'd share with you guy's...Njoy...








p.s sorry about the bad pics haha...

[marc bt]

Very nice. Just one question, that light, are you going to put some sort of covering around it so they can't burn themselves if they use it as a perch?

[Eyelash]

Thanks Marc...
I keep my Ahaetulla in the same way and they use it as a perch...I was worried about it at first but they do not seem to get very hot at all...

[marc bt]

Hmm ok but i have heard that snakes can't feel themselves burning and then when its too late their skin ends up burning and sticking to the bulb.

[Eyelash]

Haha...done then...

[marc bt]

haha nice one! If you looking for something a little bit more neater get one of those plastic boxes that you place the light in ,if you understand what i'm talking about ?

[Eyelash]

Haha...I will do...It was just a quick fix haha...
p.s...The big plant(dont know the sp) acts as a perfect water bowl for them...
