Here are some photographs of my large Kukuri Collection.

I already arranged a partner for their breeding program and hopefully next year we will have some photographs of babies.

These are termed Kukuri snakes because they possess 2 elongated teeth which resemble a "Kukuri Knife". They utilize their teeth to slice open eggs which they drink for food.

Their latin is Oligodon. Some eat pinks and fuzzies but others drink an entire chicken egg from a bowl and refuse rodents.

They remain under 3 feet usually and are quite timid and handable and have not ever depicted any aggressive or defensive behaviors.

The one with the florescent stripe is quite unique and very attractive.

Hi,

Craig ("Dinodon" from Taiwan asked me to post two shots of his Taiwan kukri snake (a.k.a. kukuri snake, or Taiwan leopard snake), Oligodon formosanus.

That red striper is awesome and the variation in terms of color and pattern is really amazing. Should be a fun project!
