do many people breed/keep the tree snakes?
they seam to be few and far between.. but i cold be looking in the wrong places
im considering getting a pair of common/green tree snakes. i do really like the blue morphs
do the different color morphs have different price tags?
in general what are they worth ?

BTW very nice photos from everyone *drools*

my avatar is really my best pic (im a terrible photographer with a cheap camera) how do you all afford such good cameras and a good collection?


d. punctulata (gold phase) and h.erectus (sye phase) I am told that this is what is called a myspace photo, by the person who took it.

d.punctulata (blue phase) at the end of feeding time and just before a shed


d.punctulata (blue phase) chillin with the numerous crumbs on the kitchen bench


i can never have too many colubrids, so send me all of yours.

Tree snakes are awesome! I love how varied the colors can be.
Do they require anything special to look after them? Im used to keeping pythons. Whats max size they grow? How big of an enclosure do you need?
Ive tried looking for a care sheet but no luck. And whats with the smell of them? Do they release a smell when aggravated or just smell all the time?
Any other info would be great too!

Cool thread with some great shots (especially Stewart's and Matt's, which are always lovely).

NQ Boiga:

I know it's not Australian, but hey, it's a "colubrid" (Ahaetulla prasina):

Not wishing to stir up a hornet's nest, but in response to the earlier question about whether or not keelbacks are venomous, I suspect they actually are. Perhaps their bites aren't "medically significant" to humans, but I'd be very surprised if any Australian "colubrids" were totally without venom.

Hey, Mattsnake, once again - love that pic of your smiley little guy on your carpet

well you got one hornets attention CTS dont actually have a rear fang, and therefor cannot inject venom. jury is still out on whether they have venom glands (useless as they would be) or not. i have heard two completely different stories from two completely different, usually knowledgable people. either way it makes no difference if they can produce it or not, they still cant use it.
