Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I know this is the drymarchon forum here, but Iv'e seen some posts with regard to pseustes here as well. So I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of information about them, and/or a breeder. And does anyone know how to get hold of Bill Reid? Thanks.

You can find Bill here, is nick is sighthunter.
Take care!

That's a badass snake!
I'm still waiting on the eggs to hatch and it's at day 71. I can't wait.
The adults are both shedding right now. Also, I believe I may have asked this before, but do you know the locality of your animals?

No Roy, i didn't know locality. I bought them a year ago from Dan (DTS reptiles).
Take care.

I also purchased mine from Dan. Great guy!
Mine are from a Surinam locale and I'm trying to pin down localities because I have a few theories about subspecies that I would like to verify. Yours look very similar to mine as they seem to have a lot of green and yellow coloration.

Hi Roy!
Can you develop a bit about ssp.? I'm really interested.
Yes, mine look like your's and also came From Dan so there is a good chance they came from the same region. I cooled them since the end of august, they are now back warm since a week so let's see.
Take care!

Well, supposedly there are two subspecies (see link). However, I'm not sure if they are accepted as valid because Pseustes is so obscurely studied.
I'm curious to see if there is a possible link between the two subspecies and the two obvious color phases. I've been trying to determine if black and yellow specimens (such as Bill's, tiger lipped specimens) are a possibly different subspecies than the green and yellow specimens. Also, I'm curious to see how my hatchlings will turn out in terms of coloration. I wonder if both color phases will appear among the hatchlings. It's just an idea, but I'd certainly like to find out the prevailing difference between the subspecies. That is, if there are indeed two subspecies.

Interesting Roy... Your hatchlings will probably light us to know if ours Vs Bill ones is only color phase or ssp.
Take care!

Been on vacation and I will (after jet lag) look at all the posts............Bill
