>Can anyone answer me the following questions...
There was an article on breeding these in The Herptile (Matthewson, M.(1997). The Captive Maintainance and Breeding of the Green Cat-Eyed Snake, Boiga cyanea. Journ. Int. Herp. Soc., vol.22, no.3). What I post below is based on the observations of this author.
1)How long after mating is it till the eggs are laid?
Unsure, adults placed togaether early Februaury and again mid May for around a week on each occaion. Mating observed neither time. Eggs laid on 6th July. Estimated pre laying period was 42-50 days.
2)How big are the eggs?
13 eggs measuring 40mm x 25mm, hatchlings 38cm long.
3)How long is till they hatch?
Incubation took 85 days at 28°C.
Hope this helps, cheers, Lee.
