Here in the states imports sell for about $35 to $50. Sometimes a bit more.



Every few years gravid imports will come in and lay fertile eggs. The babies from these run $75 to $100.



On the rare occasion that a true captive bred baby is available the prices are about the same.



Imports are fairly difficult. A good friend of mine gets to handpick from the primary importer of this species and he and I still have some mortality. I've even had specimens that were doing fine and eating for several months go into a bad shed and die.



They eat mice or young rats fairly well.



Gonyosoma oxycephala is a slender species that averages about 6'. I do have one specimen that is probably over 7'.



They are very fast and difficult to handle. They are also very aggressive.



A worthwhile species to work with if you like fast and aggressive snakes. There are some available now through the classifieds. I believe Exotics R Us and a seller names Korn have them.

how much do those run, what do they eat? how big do they get?
