I like your pictures. The Telescopus, Ahaetulla and Boiga cyanea are species I have always wanted to keep but have never got around to for some reason. I think I kept a Telescopus short term at one point but I can't say for sure.

Does anybody know, if there is a sexual dimorphism at Rhamphiophis rubropunctatus? What is the difference of caudals by probing?

I have heard from more than one source that they are basically impossible to probe. I have even heard of a Rhamphiophis rostratus that probed out as a male that later layed eggs. And the guy who probed the snake was very experienced.

I read on an African Herp forum that you can compare tail lengths by counting subcaudals on sheds. I have one specimen right now and do have a shed saved but have not yet counted the subcaudals. Hopefully enough of us keeping this species can start doing counts and making comparisons to get an idea of what sort of variation exists.

What sort of substrate is it that you're keeping your Rhamphiophis on?

I have mine on aspen right now but eventually plan to move it to natural soil or something similar.
