Hello all.
My first solo post.

I would love to hear from everyone who keeps, breeds colubrids.
Love to see some pics of your own snakes and set-ups.

Nice set up! I'm curious, how hard is it to feed tree snakes, I've heard mixed reports from only taking fish to people saying they smash mice, or do they start on fish and ease onto mice?

love the set up.
would have been a lot of fun cleaning all the poo.
One of biggest downfall of colubrids is amount of poo.

do you still have that common tree snake?

personally I don't think they process furr well.
i keep to fish, plus easy to throw fish into its bowl and they move around causing snake to naturally be curious.
i do use pinkie mice to fatten snakes befor cooling.

either way they're great snakes to keep
i love them
 
Here is a couple of pictures of my keelback that I have.
First is when I just got it:

And this last one is my most recent picture of it:

Awesome snakes to keep these guys. Need to track down a couple more eventually to breed them.
Cheers Cameron
 
if it is its beautiful.Actually it is beautiful all together. what kind of brown is it (locale) @SniperCap? might look at getting one!

If you are thinking "Brown" as in Eastern or Western, its not the same mate. As C-B-H said above, it's a Brown Tree Snake, also known as a Night Tiger, Dolls Eye or Banded Tree snake depending on who you are talking to.

All of mine are either Katherine or NT Top End locale.

Yeah I meant brown as in brown tree snake, I know all about these critters as I have a family living in a hollowed out tree on my 160 acre block. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
 
WA Kimberly locale..
Really keen to get the black and white version...

What type of fish did you use colubridlover? Just regular feeder fish? And did you ever breed the fish yourself?

Cool. Snag a pic of them for us when you get a chance.

Brown tree snakes eat mammals easily. And they don't spray poop everywhere like GTS.
