Janseni cross and a Silver phase Gonyosoma. The Janseni actually hatched out with mild kinking but has completely outgrown it. The Gonyo still shows remnants of some pretty serious hydrocephaly or "bubble-head". Both have matured into spectacular adults and aside from some theatrical bluff displays are actually calm, gentle snakes that will obviously eat anything anywhere! Just shows not all hatchlings are necessarily doomed if afflicted when hatched.

Sorry for the less than perfect pics, tough to do one handed.

Bill, beautiful Gonyosoma Janseni and G. oxycephalum!

The hydrocephalism issue in oxycephalum is odd - your oxy looks great considering its start. Also, I've had snakes grow out of kinks too...

Nice.
I like your arboreal set up. Are those BARRS cages?

Yes they are. Best cages going IMHO. I have quite a few. I house all my Boiga in them as well. I have the shorter more rectangular cages for most of my Zonata as well. I put idle male Sanzinia in some too...when they're not breeding. The separation really keeps the fires going for them!

Humidity retention is a constant battle here in Vegas and these hold humidity remarkably long.

I love the look of that first animal! Nice set-ups, too.
