Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Here are the pictures I had promised. To be fair to the readers I called a friend of mine that promised a bity Biak that was guaranteed to bite. The first picture is me offering this snake my finger as a meal kind of like letting an unfamiliar dog sniff the back of your hand. For the record I had not previously handled this animal. The second shot is me free handling this snake. The photo shoot lasted approximately five minutes. At NO time did this Biak with a history of biting make any attempt to bite. It was nervous and a bit curious but NEVER bit.

That's a pretty Biak. Nice yellow on it. I didn't have a history on my Biak, just learned thru experience that she would eat you. She can be handled, but you can't mess with her too much or she gets very defensive. I'd much rather handle my loveable Sorong or Jaya!

Here is a Female Canary. She has just finished what I believe is her pre egg laying shed. To our suprise the three green scales she has have turned blue! A picture although difficult may be possable.

Couldn’t help but notice the gracious nature of the replies. I have been on quite a few forums where the dialog became abrasive. I am sure this forum has its moments but the experience thus far has been a positive one. Thank you Meg for taking the time to greet me on this forum and open up for dialog. Maybe in the future a few other people would like to engage my threads. …………Bill

Gosh, your welcome! This forum has less in way of responses than some of the other ones I'm on, so don't feel offended if your threads are not responded to as quickly...or at all! I hope you'll continue to come onto this and other chondro forums. We're really a pretty good bunch

Hey Bill, great lookin' snakes. If you don't mind a little more engaging, how about a pic of your canary's mate? And if you ever manage to get a pic of those 3 scales....

I will get the pics you wanted. The male is an ultra clean Canery very bright yellow. Here are some indoor-outdoor cages for tropical Bird Snakes and Tropical Indigos. Notice the doggie door a pipe with foam blocking the weather. There is an x cut into the center of the foam. The center of the foam is thinner than the wall. The snakes can go outside for real U.V. whenever they want.

That is an awesome setup! Love the indoor/outdoor deal.

Thank you. It has taken quite a few years of thinking to make a doggie door that works for snakes. I think it would work for Chondros if their perch was attached to the indoor-outdoor access and continued to the outside. The foam would have to be proped open untill they get used to it. I had some parrot snakes that lived and bred outside, they are green also. What was interesting about them is that they would maintain a body temp of 100 to 109 sustained and bred at that temp. The eggs hatched and offspring were healthy. Just think what we could learn about chondros with such a set up. By the way natural sun stimulates breeding bigtime.
