I would ask Robyn at Pro Exotics or Kathy Love. Ya' know, it seems like there was an article in Reptiles within the past year or so about Rhinos. Anyway, any of those sources could probably tell you about their gestation period, including prenatal shed to laying time length.
Good luck!

I bred them once and I remember it seemed like a very long time. I don't have the data right in front of me nor do I remember where I put it.

I'll ask my friend who has the adults I bred. I'm going to see him this weekend.

I love that picture.

This is the only Rhynchophis pic I have. Not the greatest, but one I'm pretty happy about.

Hey, all Rhino pics are great !!!!
Any info from your friend would be MOST welcome.
Thanks
Heres another pic

Now I remember that one. Mine never bit me.

How did you end up doing with your Gonyosoma? You and I exchanged some emails about them. It was well over a year ago. Maybe longer.

I hope to start putting back together another collection of them.

I passed the Gonys on to a friend who had a much bigger group
of animals and an awesome set of naturalistic viv's.
Her first clutch were infertile, i believe he may have more luck
this year.

chris_harper2 Mar 30, 2006 03:08 PM

Yeah, I'm going to hold back until I can get some large naturalistic vivaria built.

Who is your friend if you don't mind me asking? I stay in touch with a lot of Gony keepers so I may know him.

His name his Chris, and is based in Bristol

chris_harper2 Mar 30, 2006 03:17 PM

I know who you are talking about. It's been a long time since he and I have chatted.

Is his email Cjherps or something like that? Has it changed? I might drop him a line.

I may have the wrong guy. I exchanged a bunch of emails with a guy from Connecticut who had a Gonyosoma and was planning on more. But I can't find any of his emails which is weird considering I rarely delete one.

I must have accidentally put it in the wrong folder. I remember him having it in a plastic tub on top of his entertainment center. He sent me a picture of his kid looking into the cage or something like that.

Sound like the same guy?

Noooooooooooo Bristol, England.

chris_harper2 Mar 30, 2006 03:39 PM

LOL. Well I've exchanged emails with a couple of Gony keepers from England but nobody named Chris, LOL.

Sorry for the confusion.
