Wanted Pair of Mangrove Snakes (Boiga dendrophila)

Hello,

I'm looking for a pair of young or hatchling mangrove snakes (yellow and black) either captive born/captive hatched or captive raised would be most preferable, but young established wild caughts (treated for parasites and feeding consistently on rodents) will be considered as well if they are in good condition and not old monster 5-6+ ft. animals that will not live very long in captivity or have a good chance or breeding. I want animals that will have the best chance possible of reproducing in captivity and I have no problem waiting a couple years to raise them up myself.

Let me know what you have and please include a brief history on them (time in captivty if not captive hatched, what they are feeding on, what they have been treated with, etc.) as well as a price and pictures if you have them available.

I also welcome emails from anyone expecting babies or juveniles in the near future and I can stay in touch.


Thanks very much,

Alex

FYI, don't limit yourself..I have 17 Mangroves (Dendrophila, Melanota, and Gemmicinta) and the larger the import (all are imports) the easier/better they acclimate...the 2' or so animals are the ones that are the most problematic. I have imported 4'-5' animals that bred w/in a year of aquisition/acclimation. Larger animals feed much more readily on rats/mice/chicks while the smaller ones often have to be fed lizards then lizard-scented rodents ans the switch to non-scented rodents can take awhile.


BTW, Gemicinta (all black) and Melanota (largest, most robust) acclimate the easiest IMHO and the Gemmicinta have the nastiest temperments of the group.
