Dispholidus typus

Woohhoo!!
Big Congrats!!

Cheers!

Outstanding!

Well done. Can't wait for the new baby photos Wink

Hello,

since a few months I have a couple of adult Boomslangs too.
I have a question, did your snakes lay their eggs on the ground or you put a box in the trees?

It`s because i have a hidebox in the top of their enclosure, which was always ignored, now the female is inside there for about 2 days, only putting her head outside sometimes.
Not that she`s laying eggs and i miss that.

best regards
Julian

That is fantastic! Maybe there is 1 or 2 for me too Razz

Thanks guys, hopefully all goes well Smile

I also hope that there is 1 or 2 for me Wink

Maybe enough so that i could trade some and get other interesting species..

I had a hidebox and weeks before she laid the eggs she did spend much time inside, just peeking out from the hole from time to time. But i took it away because it wasn´t a good box for laying eggs (or the problem was more like how i could get the eggs out from it without destroying them). Otherwise this female hasn´t used hideboxes and very calmly/boldly waits infront of the glass for her next meal, eventhough she just ate Razz

. The hidebox was on the ground as i´ve read that they usually lay eggs on the ground. Some weeks before laying the eggs she spent much time on the ground and obviously when she found a suitable place she started digging a hole that she filled up with eggs.

Hopefully your female is doing the same inside the hidebox Smile

You have any pictures of your boomslangs Julian? Would love to see them.

That`s the same problem with my hidebox and that i can`t look inside so when they are eggs I probably see them too late.

I just have them till December and I didn`t see any mating activity and the female looks quite and is eating.

Perhaps she just like the hidebox Laughing

But I will remove it to be on the safe side.

I posted some pictures HERE

best regards
Julian

Very very nice one´s. I keep my finger´s crossed for you Cool

Although there has no one´s hatched...are all already sold/promised, or do you maybe have 1 or two for sale?

Here is a little tipp. I use a infra red camera. With this I can see the clutch without disturbing the snake.

Maybe she likes the box as you said, no harm in that Smile

Oh those are the boomies, i´ve been drooling after such right after you posted those pics. Super nice specimens you have!! Smile

I haven´t yet sold any as i first want to see them hatch, many things can go wrong. But if all goes well, i´ve promised a pair. Otherwise it´s still too soon and i´d rather first wait t ´till they hatch and start eating Smile

Thanks for the tipp, you use IR-camera for many snakes?

With the camera is a good idea, you only have them at your samarensis Terrarium?

Stefan, your animals are both black? They look just incredible Smile

I was looking after black ones before i got mine, but i "only" got those Very Happy

Just mine are not quite fun to handle, they are fast as hell but don`t seem to be very agressive, only want to get away as quick as possible.

Hi,

I have one IR-camera and use it in serveral cages when it´s breeding time.
Until now I´ve used it for my Cerastes cerastes, Naja kaouthia and Naja samarensis.

Well the idea is very good Carsten, thank you for that Smile

Julian: Yes they both are black. The male has a more "shiny" appearance than the female Smile

Can´t wait to see what colours the babies get and when they start to change, one isn´t as colourful as it used to be and shedded awhile back:

"Only" those? Razz

Yeah, what can i say other than lucky you Razz

They look awesome and i am jealous!
Mine aren´t even fun to handle eventhough the female is pretty easy, she´s been for years Christian Moisanders snake and he has somekind of magic touch that calmes those down Smile

The male always tries to fly on any direction when handling, although i do that very rarely so he also has settled very nice.

When you get more picture, please post more Smile

Today when i was just about to go to work, i checked the eggs to see that 4 little buggers have hatched today Smile

Fifth one was on the way so hopefully there´ll be more surprises when i get back home, i just hate to be at work now Very Happy

I´ll post pictures later, they´re really cute when they are small, colourfull and defensive..

Thats what i call a good advice, congrats Very Happy

I really hope when i got my established i make it to breed them one day too.

How many times you accomplished to breed them and how big were the clutches the last times?

Yeeeey Stefan! Great work! Very Happy

So happy ... let us know the final result Razz

Cheers!
Anze

What can I say... you're the man. Awesome job with this species, I tip my imaginary hat to you. Fantastic.
Now then, where the heck are the photos?! Smile

Thanks guys!
Hopefully you´ll succeed inbreeding these too. Would love to see how the colours go when they grow from different coloured parents Smile

This is only the second time that i´ve bred these, now from the newest clutch there´s 5 out of eggs and 8 eggs left. Few have opened the eggs but are still too shy to come out Wink

Hopefully final result gives me 8 babies more but for now i have to wait, which is easy as always Very Happy

Thx Christian, although i should tip many imaginary hats for you considering the results you´ve had with many species. What was it, puniceus master? Atheris master? Wink

Well this time the result wasn´t as good as i hoped, the 5 that hatched are the only survivors from this clutch. Other ones had died inside their eggs eventhough some had opened the egg by themselves, pretty strange. This time i used a real incubator but obviously next time i won´t use. But the 5 seem to be active and healthy so i ain´t complaining, if i find another female from the same locality i can try again but i´ll let this female rest for a year Smile

Here´s some new pictures. These ones seem to be much calmer and i could take pictures without them huffing puffing and flying around. Hopefully feeding would be as easy too Smile

Gorgeous !
Congrats.

WIII Stefan!
Congrats!!! Very Happy

/ Johan

Hahaha, these animals look so funny and cute Very Happy

Thanks guys!
Haha, they really do look funny and cute Very Happy

These seem alittle better as the first one already ate a pinkie without any forcefeeding or scenting, only needed to tease it alittle but that´s always better than forcefeeding imho Smile

Hopefully the rest will follow and keep it up so that some could possibly find their way to hamm.

they look very intressting to me!
the green eyes look so cool!

Congrats for the clutch

congrats stefan on those beautys those eyes are increible
