Acanthophis rugosus arrived a little flat but plumped up as he settled down. Trimeresurus insularis , rare yellow phase.

Great pics as always Al...I'm sure I'll be posting a similar post on TRR...I'll have to be original to keep things interesting 
How many species of Acanthophis are you keeping currently?
By the way...do you still have that Bungarus? If so...where the hell are the pics!!!!!!!!!

Hi:
I currently keep two species of Acanthophis, both from PNG. Sadly the B. faciatus just suddenly went "Belly up". It had transitioned to rodents with an occassional snake thrown in for a balanced diet. No idea why he checked out

Hi Al,
Nice animals!
Presumably they are from Indonesia, not PNG, since Trimeresurus insularis does not occur in New Guinea, A. rugosus barely enters PNG, and PNG does not export any fauna.....
Cheers,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang:
Duh! Yes, of course T. insularis is from Indonesia (Adonara, Alor, Bali, Flores, Komodo, Lombok, Padar, Rinca, Romang, Roti, Sumba, Sumbawa, Timor, Wetar)according to the EMBL Database. I guess I just lumped them all together with the other nasty's from PNG is received.
On a different but related topic. Do you know why the Subfamily Hydrophiinae on the EMBL Database is offline? This is the message I receive when I click on any of the Genera listed:
Information:
no entries found, query: "[REPTILIA-Species:Austrelaps*]"
Cheers!
