| My first post in this section... Thought I'd share an image of a super nice snake. Most well represented non-venomous snake in my collection, and one I've long had a passion for, is C. hortulanus. I have some 50/50 projects with my best friend, and from such we got 2 litters last year. This awesome little gem was born in one of those, hope you enjoy... | |

| Thanks a lot guys, glad you liked Mikael, it does look like a candycane, doesn't it? Four sheds since birth, and it keeps getting better, no sign of changing into more 'normal' or usual coloration. At birth it had more purple tones, but it's still got incredible colors. Yes, Johan, you are right about them being awesome snakes. Even though they get to about 2m in length, they are quite slim and don't take up too much space. Granted, you could house more arboreal vipers in the same space, but still They can also be handled, even though they may have a bit of an attitude, at least at times. But in my experience they are not as bad a biters as they're reputation sometimes would lead you to believe. And me, well I like some attitude One attribute that definitely increases the interest of working with them is the fact that they, too, are polymorphic. I do have a thing for such snakes Here's another cool one, from the same litter as the first one. After this one shed for the first time, this almost white bald spot appeared on another side of it's head. Pretty cool. And exciting, should all go well down the road, as I can't wait to see if that trait might be passed on to it's offspring. | |

| Hi Stephan. Here's the father (owned by my friend) And here's the mother. From my second ATB litter ever, born in 12/02. And here's yet another extremely nice baby from the same litter as the previous two. All three are hold-backs, of course Ah, what the heck, here's the fourth and final hold-back from this litter as well. Truly nice variation among them, huh? Couldn't be happier | |

| very nice holdbacks , let me know if you get babys like that again ;o) but seeing the parents wich look like normal garden phase to me it proofes the fact that corallus species are allways a bag of surprises | |

| Thank you. I will let you know if more like these will be born. In fact, maybe tomorrow the same pair will be introduced to each other, we'll see... Hopefully they'd produce another nice litter As a matter of fact, this male... ...and this female... ...are from the same litter, and still available I hope mentioning that won't violate any rules. | |
