    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a single unsexed Chironius exoletus and a group of 3 unsexed Chironius carinatus available. The carinatus group produces eggs regularly but I have no frogs to feed the hatchlings - and it appears this is all they take initially - live frogs. A steady diet of small cuban tree frogs killed an entire clutch, so thats not an option.

They have been in my care for about a year now and are doing well on a diet of thawed tilapia dusted lightly with Repti-Cal vitamins and Repti-Cal calcium and D3 powder.

They are very alert, active snakes that bite freely, often aiming directly at your eyes when they strike. They have settled down quite a lot as captives and appear to be very intelligent snakes. These are NOT snakes you keep in plastic boxes.

The green exoletus is $150 shipped. The entire group of carinatus is $300 shipped.

Photos are of actual animals and some of the babies I have hatched.

I wanted to show a photo of one of the babies. These may have been the first cbb C. carinatus born in captivity. Breeding was observed on many occasions with this group.

They will take full advantage of a good viv with proper gradients of light, humidity, security and temperature. I would plan to provide quality UV light - not the curly bulbs or Chinese junk - good UV tubes from Arcadia, especially given the less than whole food items.

These guys have all been treated with Fenbendazole, but they did eat some live frogs this summer, so they need to have fecals done and treated if needed.
