Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I haven't posted an inquiry in a while and I was wondering if there is anyone out there working with these obscure species? Here's what I am currently working with:

Epicrates s. striatus
Epicrates s. fosteri
Epicrates s. strigulatus
Epicrates subflavus
Epicrates inornatus
Epicrates gracilis
Epicrates fordi
Epicrates chrysogaster
Tropidophis melanurus
Tropidophis greenwayi

Thanks,
Jay

but not keeping any yet

There is only a handful of us out there keeping these overlooked snakes. I'll try to post some pics soon.

I am currently workin with E. angulifer. I am thinking about inornatus. Great animals!!! Many people say they're nasty, but that is due to lack of CBB animals. Mine are as tame as my ball pythons. They eat like retics though, always hungry!!!!! Post some pics for us.

as far as attitude and musking are concerned. Most of mine are fairly calm, but all the subflavus will rip your throat out! My inornatus and my angulifer (of the past), were super docile. I will attempt to post some pics soon.

Thanks,
Jay

Here is a picture of one of our females that we are working with. We have 1.2 Epicrates subflavus that we are hoping to breed in a few years. She is about two years old and very calm. They are amazing!

My colony consists of 14 animals. They have the most unusual and intense pattern. What are your bloodlines? Thanks for sharing guys!

That is a nice fordi too. Any luck with importing and/or breeding?

Thanks,

No Jay, you know how things go. Still trying though! I promise I'll let you know when I get some success!

Unfortunately, I do know how that process works- very slowly. Keep at it though, it should be rewarding. It took me over a year to get turned down for CITES Appendix I. import permit to bring over some subflavus from Germany. You do not have the fortune to work w/ USFWS.

Thanks,
