Zhaoermia mangshanensis CB!

Hey Samuel,

sorry, I wanted to write "if you visit your partner next time", don´t know why I wrote "your parents". I phoned with my parents last time I wrote the message. Seems I was a little bit confused.

Best regards

Frank

Those snakes are just unbelievable!! You are killing me showing me all those pics!! I think I have to rob a bank to be able to buy some though!!
Cheers

Congratulations! This is one of the most fabulous snakes in the world.
Thank you for showing us the beauties and sharing the information about husbandry and breeding.

On breeding them in Europe: Andreas Gumprecht also did breed them some years ago. There are an article about that in some old issue of Sauria.

Hi Petter,

the "breeding" of Andreas Gumprecht was only by a gravid imported female, like he said in his article. The guy from Switzerland had a real breeding success with them, as far as I know.

Best regards

Ok. My bad.
My german isn´t what I would want it to be. Obviously some things get lost in translation...

Thank you for clearing that out.

Here are some pictures i found off the internet from people who have hiked on Mt Mang Nature Reserve.

This is a video of people hiking there:

Here is a pic I found of a screen capture of a program on Chinese tv about the person who discovered the first snake and about them in their natural habitat. He lives on the mountain inside the protected area and collects gravid females and then releases the babies into the wild.

Hello Samuel,

thank you, that helps a lot. Especially the picture with the Zhaoermia on it. If the photographer didn´t put the snake on that place, it is one of the pictures I´ve looked for. You can see the Vipers live in the part with the deciduous trees and not as I mentioned before in the part with the coniferans (or maybe both).
If I´m able to get my hands on some, that helps to build a natural looking cage for them.

Best regards
