Here is a gravid Twig Snake which was the successful breeding of 2 wild caught specimens over the last year. The eggs are those lumps to the left of its head on its lower half in the lower photo.

Nice Dan. So cool to have a female so obviously gravid. Moma looks a little wound-up...maybe the next generation's snakelets will be a little more laid back. Good luck!

Al.... Vinny at Off the Ark Exotics did breed Asian Vines.He sold the female to me not knowing she was gravid.3 days after I got her she shot out a 12 little ones.I wish I could take the credit for breeding them, but Vinny did the work.Anyone interested in breeding them should contact him for possible help.The babies were relativly easy to get started to my suprise.They took fish from a water dish and all were eating withen 5 days of birth.

The snake Dan posted is a twig snake, Thelatornis kirtlandi...Asian vines are a completely different species. Al is correct as far as I know, Thelatornis have not been bred in captivity. If anybody knows otherwise, please post.
