Male, six months old. Captive bred and hatched by Bill Gillingham. Very calm demeanor; eating f/t without hesitation.

Awesome. Didn't know he still bred mangroves. How big is he?

He's about 20 inches now. He's gone from day old pinks to weaned mice presently. When I spoke with Bill at Anaheim, he indicated that he had another clutch pending....
Don't know if its captive bred versus wild caught, but this one is cornsnake tame (at least on dayshift).

Not fair!!!!But an awsome snake.

Nice Melanota you have there. I've found it doesn't matter c.b. vs w.c. if they are handled they can become very calm! W.C. ones are a completely different story!

Here is a 3ft female:

Here is a c.h. 07 dendrophila

I would like to work with Melanota as well as some other's but I will only work with c.h. animals at this time. I'd work with c.b. but the people breeding them want WAY to much money for their animals.

Is it just the lighting, or is that C.H. 07 yellow in the front and white on the body?
