Toxicodryas Pulverulenta (Not Boiga, Taxonomic Classifiers have corrected that over 25 years ago)common name Fischers Cat Snake, African Powdery Tree Snake (my preferred). These snakes are usually a gold/yellow/brown to brown/gray with some pink undertones depending on sex. This is pair is a Cameroon locality and the females are a pink orange with faint gray black patterning and the males are a gray with faint black patterning and pink belly which I will add pic of soon. They are much different than the ones commonly imported from Northwest Africa. Dont let pic fool you female is about 4 feet long! wish I could post video of to show. male is about half length and thickness. If all goes planned hatchlings next year
Do not confuse this with boiga they have different care requirements, Different humidity requirements and very different temperature requirements than boiga. They also display extreme sexual dimorphisms that are not present in any species of boiga as well as a ROUND PUPIL (so why they are called cat snakes at all is a bit misleading). They are so unique they have been classified under 4 different genus since they have been discovered. I even think they should be separated from blandingii due to significant differences in bone structure and pupil shape.
