Is anybody breeding any species of Gonyosoma (red tail green rat snakes)?
Rob

A handful of people are breeding them but very few are selling. The only ones I know of for sale are hybrids between G. oxycephala and the Seleyar G. janseni.

Rob,

Sorry, I replied to my own post. Thought I'd let you know if you're getting email notification.

I have not taken any pictures in over a year. I need to rectify that.

Male green G. oxycephala from Java.

A female from Java. These used to be considered the "floweri" subspecies, although it now appears they are just one of the many types of colors you can get from this polymorphic species.

A Java male.

A Seleyar hatchling, how solid black.

Not my specimen, but this is what the Seleyar Janseni look like as adults.

Fantastic animals, I’m jealous. About fifteen years ago a local pet store gave me an oxycephala that he got in on trade. Obviously wild caught, didn’t eat well and internal parasites but I was able to turn him around and gave it back to the store. Ever since I’ve been on the hunt for my own. Thanks for sharing and keep me in mind if you decide to let go of some babies.
