Awesome mangrove, Justin! I've always liked the yellow/black coloration.

How 'bout a black/white morph?

Bill

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photograph of one of these that does them justice. Very iridescent, which is hard to get a decent picture of. They are literally one of the most beautiful snakes you will ever see in person. If you have not seen one, you really can’t imagine it. That second picture really captures a bit of that. Nice.

Thanks and you're right, its hard to get decent pics..especially when they're "lit" LOL. I have Dendro Dendros, Melanota, and Gemmicinta and they are a totally underappreciated family of snakes IMHO.

Bill

awesome. i don't ever really see any of the black and white ones available much. i was really hopin to get into them pretty good soon and get some breeders started. ive always been fascinated. ive seen some of the solid black ones too, and they look awesome. but i think the black and yellows are the best imo. we need to find a morph out there that has bands of black, yellow, and white. that'd be bad.lol

The Gemmicintas start out that way then fade to all black. Sure would be nice to stumble across some that retained their juvie coloration! Here's a pic of my 7' male Melanota.
