On "egg-watch" w/this one! Pre-lay shed 3 days ago and she's refused to feed 2 nights in a row..always a good indicator! She usually takes f/t anything right off of tongs. Bred to a black/yellow male so it will be interesting what turns up!

you seem to be the most knowledgeable person about boiga i've come across. i've been looking for more info on these guys for a long time and all im getting are the basics such as temp, humidty, cage size. havn't heard much as to breeding, size and temperment of subspecies, intergrades in the wild, and so forth.

p.s. those black and whites are killer, are they a sub. or a local variation? also have you heard anything about the hypos up in malysia via http://www.reptilesmalaysia.com/photo/index.php?album=cat_snakes/hypo_mangrove_snakes the fellow hasn't been terrably talkative.

Thanks! I'm adding another b/w female on Friday. Just a color variation from what I can tell..I just love their contrast! I have one "aberrant" female I need to take a pic of compared to a "normal" black/yellow animal. She's more lavendar/brown and yellow...by no means black and a good contrasting photo would show her difference. Seems like a large % of serious Boiga afficianados are in Europe.
I have 17 imported animals of varying ages/sizes and besides one UR issue I've had zero problems w/any of them. Some were LTC animals when I got them, some fresh off the boat.Larger animals acclimate far easier than do juvies....having to lizard scent 2 20" animals for now but I'm sure they'll make the switch soon

There is a Boiga site but for some reason its rarely, if ever, visited....http://boiga.proboards.com/index.cgi?

Congrats on the breeding! Best of luck on the eggs!
