about breeding waglers

angusticeps Sep 26, 2006 08:35 AM

Hi, I´ve a female of wagleri 1 year ago and a male two weeks ago. Do you know information about their breeding? Can I get it?

I´m not sure the male is completely adult. I send a pic.

I´ve heard it´s difficult to breed them, but at least I would like to try it.

Your male looks like he's big enough.
Go the the Waglers Vipers Page here on Kingsnake in
Care Sheets/FAQ's/Features Link

Hope this helps.

They are both beautiful but I would not breed those two together... They are two totally different localities...

I bought both them as Malaysian, however, I´ve seen pics of the Malaysian species in the book "Asian pit vipers" and they are very very similar.

Being from Malaysia is not locality spacific.... Malaysia is made up of a series of islands....

Animals from the different islands sport different colors and patterns....

My opinion is it is better to breed locality spacific animals together to keep coloration and pattern true....

You are in true, but I think they both are from the same place of Malaysia and I don´t think there´s problem to breed. I will say you if I´m lucky, but at the moment, since I put them together, the female is hidding in the enclosure´s floor between plants and the male is roosting and eating without problems. I will separate them soon, and later I will put together again and so on... I hope to be lucky. Regards.

Well it good that you have a male because I have heard that males are hard to come by here in the states for some reason... They also do not do as well in a captive envoronment as the females do... Anyway, great looking animals and I hope you do breed them... Not too sure if its ever been done in captivity before though...

Really? I didn't realize that it was that rare of an occurrence to breed them in captivity. There was a guy at the Hamburg venomous show in the late 90's who had CBB waglers all the time. I saw him there for 2-3 years in a row with them. I can't remember his name, though. He must have found the knack, huh.

Check out Thomas Jäkels homepage. He has pictures of various species so you can make a comparison
