Hi.
Saw further down the forum that there are one who are asking for people keeping the species. Although i do not live in the states but live in Denmark.

I work with the folowing.
Epicrates fordii
Tropidophis haetianus
Tropidophis melanurus

A few pictures.

0.1 haetianus

0.1 melanurus

0.1 melanurus

1.0 melanurus

The 3 females have been mated and are showing signs of pregnancy. Keeping my fingers crossed.
My haetianus males where not werry photogenic that day.

Cheers peter.

Peter,
...Welcome to the forum. This is the place for discussion of ALL the Epics and Trops. Most of us have limited experience with Tropiddophis. I have only seen them at the importers in Florida a few times and I caught and releaesed one near Georgetown in the Bahamas. If you take PICs of the Ford's Boas I would like to see them.

Hi Jeff.

Thanks for the welcome.

Thats one of the hard thing keeping these snakes not much is writhen about them and not many keep them.

Nice trops Peter! I used to have a group of Epicrates and am looking to acquire some more. Here is a pic of a Vine boa (E. gracilis) hopefully...

and here is a chrysogaster...I acquired this animal from Denmark.

Hi.

Wow your gracilis look really beutiful. I dream of owning bouth species some day.

And a great looking chrysogaster that you bougth from denmark had i known it where for sale then i wouldent have left the country.

Do you keep other Epicrtes, Tropidophis?

Cheers peter
