Common Tree Snake hatching (with photo)

[NicG]

They're rear fanged so you would have to force your finger down it's throat to be envenomated!

Actually Common Tree Snakes are solid-toothed and are considered to be harmless - Brown Tree Snakes are rear-fanged and mildly-venomous. As for forcing your finger down their throat, I basically did that ... http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/australian-snakes-37/common-tree-snakes-venomous-tag-143636/

awesome looking adults, will be good to see how the hatchie turns out as it grows,
do you breed brown trees as well?

cheers

 

[giggle]

Given it's patronage, I assume you'll be holding this one back ...?

I have Katherine Brown Tree snakes, I missed the boat with breeding them this year.

Given I have so many snakes Nic, This little guy once feeding will be up for grabs!

I may not, in all good conscience, be able to let this one get out into general population ...

I'd take one of these over a mutant python anyday.

Cool, will be interesting to see how it looks when it colours up. Do you have any others cooking?

I have to say i am extremely jealous, bit hard on cash this season but hoping i will find a colubrid cheap enough/raise enough funds to add one to my collection. Do you keep mcleays?

 

[dottyback]

we cant keep Macleay's water snakes in Victoria which is a shame..

 

[hornet]

That sucks, i havent heard much about them as captives but they seem like an interesting snake

Hornet there are some cheap Common Tree Snakes out there somewhere, Last year I saw some hatchlings going for $100ea! It was crazy.

well done dottyback I ended up with 7 slugs from 1 female & 4 slugs 1 which I thought was good and went
to custard from the other female.
