what is it post a pic
 
They have probelms breeding them due to the fact they are a high altitude animal, and it is believed that has a lot of influence on their breeding. I think some have been bred in captivity, but extremely rare. ARP used to have one quite a few years ago. I had some pics of it somewhere. Stunning animal to see in the flesh.
 
what is it post a pic

its called "Pseudocerastes urarachnoides"

check out its tail!

" its only been described within the last 7 years or so, and so little is known about it, that it does not even have a common name. If you google this snake, you will find that all links point back to just one or two existing (yet very short) papers or photos of the animal."
 
also there more so related to gtps than any other species i believe? correct me if im wrong

more likely to M. amethistina, which they look like. they seem (based on bone structure) to be a link between scrubbies and carpets (Brongersma, 1953).
i am not aware of genetic work having been done on them...
would love to know of anything recent on them, i really like this species.
 
Strangely enough, Boeleni are on the species list for QLD license.

Oh wait thats the White Lipped Python, still exotic though :?
 
what!?!...damn qld are azz backwards at times

so its high altitude, morelia and close to a scrubbie? or GTP and very rare in captivity anyone know how big they grow.

man i wish more people would post this stuff its so intersting.
So much better than post pics of your childrens python/diamond/etc thread we get subjected too lol
 
agreed, with somany weird and wonderfull animals about its a shame we dont get more weird threads,
that snake from iran is one of thoes few that hunt by useing its tail as bait they have a couple of amazing looking racer snakes too
 
Totally protected snake from fairly limited areas of PNG
A few turn up in Papua [Iryan Jaya] now and then
Lot of work going on right now with pretty successful breeding programs
Would be classed in the highly endangered list I think
Most wild caught adults die
Youngsters seem to do ok but not a beginners snake
Those photos are of fairly pretty ones
Not many look that clearly defined
 
The list I was given was pretty old though, they had Golden Tailed Geckoes as restricted.

I think Golden tails are still restricted in QLD due to their conservation status, the latest list from DERM states that any vulnerable or threatened reptiles are classified as restricted reptiles in QLD.

But QLD is really backwards, any native mammals are completely off limits, QLD still considers Wild dogs and dingoes to be one in the same regardless of the purity of the strain.
 
Cannot be compared in beauty to a Chondro or even a good Palmerston
Only their rarity really makes them special to collectors
Lot chunkier than most morelia
