Michael´s snakes

I´ve been thinking of posting a thread about the snakes i keep at home for some time now and finally had the time to take some at least decent pictures to post here on venomland. Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy them.

I´ll start with my favorites, Bothriechis schlegelii Eyelash Vipers

1.0 Got this supernice male from Jimmy Cederhag, never was any doubt when he asked if i wanted to buy him....

And the latest little addon here at home, which actually belongs to a friend of mine Mikael Andersson here on venomland. He travels alot in work so they stay at my place for the time. Two very small Psuedocerastes persicus fieldii

...and to keep the girlfriend from not going crazy with all the snakes i am kind enougt to lend here some space in the snake room for a trio of
African pygme mice, Mus minutoides really cute and they have started to produce tiny pinkies...i wont be too surprised i some might disappear into the Psuedocerastes terraria Twisted Evil

Will post the rest of the snakes later, i also keep some ball pythons. If there are any intrest in seeing them i´ll take som pictures of them and post here otherwise i wont.

awsome snakes, I have 2 from jimmy litter 09. hope they goes yellow and red later..

Thanks, i also have two from his 09 litter...the red yellow male above is the father of them so hopefully some of his genes will shine through.

PS. Oh, and I totally understand you with pygmy mice ... Eventhough my girlfriend likes venomous snakes (this year she will take some european vipers), I have to put up with cats. Not that I don't like the cats - I love them. But I really don't like running on the middle of the night on my bed and me etc etc :S

thanks for sharing this beautiful photos with us

Michael, how big are the cages for your schlegelii´s

cheers, tom

Hi Tom, the bigger cage with 1.2 is 120x120x60 cm and the smaller one is 80cm high and 60x60cm.
I use a automatic spray system for the bigger one and run computerfans in both to get some extra circulation.
The bigger cage also has a water part of approximatly 25L of water. If yout intrested i Will gladly show you some more pictures of that cage.

Thanks for the nice comments

Nice job!

Hi Michael!
Very nice terrariums and snakes!
Thanks for the beautiful pictures.

Hi Michael,
how do you heat the cages?

Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom, i've been busy getting some snakes ready to be sold and also starting new cages for new snakes so i havent found time to post pics of the terraria or answer your pm.
The cage lighting condsists of 4 lighttubes, 2 dayglo tubes and 2 2.0 uv tubes. In the right corner i use 60w spotlight to get a nice temp gradient. 26-29 and at night it drops to around 24 degrees. I will try to find time to post the construction pictures during this weekend.

Hi Michael.
No problem.

Property meant that you forgot me. Sorry

Thank you for the informations.
