Dispholidus typus

These are one of my favourite snakes and would love to see more pictures about them, but somebody´s gotta start the topic so here goes Smile

Wonderful shots!
My congratulations!

Wow!
The black ones are incredible!

Greetings from Hamburg

Sven Vogler

yup - the blacks are my favorites too...

thanks for sharing!

cheers
Mario

Thanks guys Smile

When the snakes look good, the pictures look better than they really are Wink

Judging by the tails there might be a possibility of 1.1 blacks. They´ve been around eachother many times but yet i haven´t seen anything else than that, keeping my fingers crossed here..

Cheers

Stefan

very very beautiful snakes.

i like the green ones very much impressive colour!

Good Luck Stefan

Thanks,

i can´t even say which i like more. When i look at the blacks, they become my favourite but thenagain when i look at the greens the same happens scratch

Green ones are just about 1m so i don´t know if or how the coloration will change as they grow. Time will tell and hopefully i have that Smile

Here´s some more little older pictures (bad pics but yet again the snakes are nice). They aren´t as mean as they seem to be.

Very nice shots!
My favorite is the green ones...

A friend of mine had bought a group, which unfortunately turned out to be all males Sad

Good luck with the breeding Smile

Thanks,

i don´t know which are my favorites. It seems always to be the ones that i´m looking at then Smile

Too bad they all were males, how many did your friend get?
Have there been many breedings with D. typus? I don´t seem to find much information regarding that.
But the last 2 weeks have been exciting, they´ve been at eachother almost everyday and this time they didn´t just coil around eachother. I got some pics about it, not topquality photos, but it should show enough:

Dispholidus typus 033

Now i just have to wait and keep my fingers crossed sunny

Good luck with those!

I wish you luck, hopefully you'll succeed in breeding them.

Cheers,
Harold

Thx Sven and Harold.

Don´t seem to be much info about breeding these, let´s just hope that it´s not too difficult and if im not lucky this time there hopefully will be more tryouts in the future. Only time will tell Smile

You'r black ones really looks allot like my Thrasops except from the head. Really nice ones!

Some update in this:

Oh my god... That's an old dream of mine, keeping D.typus...!! Maybe a day! Hope there will be some this year on the snake day!

Cheers!!

Fantastic job buddy, congrats! Very Happy

I'll keep my finger's crossed for a high hatching rate.

Thx guys,

i´ll also keep my fingers crossed although i´ll be happy even if i only get one Smile

The setup and conditions seems to work so with luck it would be possible to get more out of these in the future. Atleast the male has been trying to mate again, both eat and the female doesn´t seem to be stressed about him (when i housed them separately they refused to eat) so i´ll let them be.

Well Lucas, it´s nice to read that i´m not the only one whos been dreaming of boomies.
As i´ve been lucky, and thanks to Christian, been able to get my hands on some i hope that you´ll too get yourself some boomies Smile

There aren´t that many who keep these beautiful and interesting snakes compared to some other species Smile

A friend of mine had bought a large group, which unfortunately turned out to be all males

That's because boomslangs (or at least many populations of boomslang - not entirely sure if it's universal) are sexually dimorphic: green specimens are males, whereas the females are brown and much duller.

Picking them by beauty alone is likely to lead to disappointment if you are planning a breeding program ;-)

Wolfgang:
I dont know if he picked them out himself, or bought them as a group, but it is sure worth to remember Very Happy

Stefan:

Any news about the eggs? Have they hatched yet?

Wow,congrats really nice animals Wink

Just keep us up to date,i would take 1.1 is possible ...
Regards,
Ralph

Hi Jakob,

Eggs are doing ok i guess, first one hatched a second ago affraid

And i must say that it has to be one of the cutest little snakes i´ve seen, the green eyes are just awesome!!

Maybe the rest will soon follow Smile

I´m alittle excited but sadly i have to go to work. But pics will follow Smile
