Things are farely slow, so decided to boost up the activity level.
Hope nobody gets bored with the prasina's, but they are so rewarding to photograph.
Hope you like.
This large female loves to munch on live mice now. This took me two years to achieve. The mice are killed by the mild venom and die in 30-60 seconds. They dont really suffer to much. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Nice photos and terrific accomplishment. I have the latin american verson and it also eats mice like candy. Its 6 foot perhaps 7 foot long. How did you get it to take the rodents? Scenting, starvation, assist feed?

Thouching these vines is a nonononono. They rely on camouflage as protection. So they will kind of stand ground until they are sure the camouflage is comprimized (touching). They will then normally just flee, but in a cage setting they cannot go anywhere, and they will bite!! And they are so fast!!
Hunger was a factor.
I placed a live mouse (4week old) in the cage. When she lost interest I removed the mouse, and so on. Until she finally decided mice where oke to eat. Ofcoarse i did feed her gecko's if she was hungrey.
I think that they will eat anything that moves irrattically and has a small size. Once the snake decided she was large enough to kill mice she just converted fully.
