"I'll be back at 6 if not 7. 8 the very latest but definatly no later than 9...ish...Moscow time."

Might be hard to dig her out of there once in a while, but I bet she likes it in there alot more than a "sweater-box"!LOL

I also like her blueish tongue against the flash!

best regards !Doug

Hehe yes it looks like she like this terrarium. And Iam like it too

It could be a little bit hard to take her out because she is a fast girl You have to take that she bites you because it is not easy to take them out on the hook

But it is worth the bites because she is so pretty.

I don´t know why more peaple doesn´t have this nice snakes. Like snakes with action You will get everything if you bought gonyosomas. Green, pretty, cool behaviour, action and dayactive and eat like monsters. Quick and fast as hell

Andreas,

I love these snakes and keep about a dozen of them at the moment.

How large is that terrarium? What is it sealed with to prevent moisture damage?

Currently keeping a small collection of various Gonyosoma. Both G. janseni and G. oxycephala.

I will bought a male to my female later on.

What do you mean? Didn´t understand

The terrarium is about 75cm,90cm,60cm L,H,D

Beware the crash! Goynos are famous for starting off well then crashing HARD w/out warning. Chris Harper can echo these sentiments - if we can get Freight Freitas on this thread he has loads of knowledge/experience. I keep them now and have bred them off-n-on over the years but they can be heartbreakers! All my recent aquisitions are juvies w/the exception of one huge Malaysian female. I'm hoping the smaller size will give me a leg up on acclimitization. They are heavily parasitized and need a thorough regimen of treatments if you hope to keep them thriving for an extended period of time.

Good luck,

Bill
