No one fancy entering?

I would love to, but I don't have any nice pictures...

My favorite species in my collection is without a doubt Boiga tanahjampeana.
To choose the favorite pet, I'd have to choose between the 2 females. They actually look pretty much the same.



I hope some other will place there pictures here. You to Chris, I've seen some nice ones from you to.
It would be a shame if this initiative goes to waste.

Okay, here's one I made today of my male B.d.gemmicincta.
He certainly didn't like it...

[Admin - Angi]

Wow, Jelmer I love your Boiga tanahjampeana, would like to see a LOT more of them, just beautiful. - Could I be cheeky and ask if you could post a bit about them - temperments, how you keep them, what they are feeding on and how you find feeding them etc. It would help us all learn. Maybe we could create a new page for you to dedicate to them on the main part of the website??
Chris I love the way you have managed to capture the eyes and tongue on yours.
Lets hope some others will enter.

Hello,

Sure I can share some information.
In comparence to other Boiga species this species sooner has the will to flee.
They do bite sometimes though, especially at night.
This species feeds very well.I have had 6 specimens in total, and all of them fed well on mice.
This species is pretty strong too in my opinion. My male had a prolaps a few weeks ago, probaly after mating with at least one of the females.
After treatment by the vet, the snake fed within a week while the stitches where still there.
I keep al specimens seperate in different sized encosures. An example is 60x60x100.
Basicly I don't house them any different then a mangove snake.

Offcourse more info can be found on the website...

I'm always in for ideas like that. Pleasse email (website) or pm me to discuss any details.

I'll post some more tanahjampeana pictures soon.

Kind regards,

Jelmer

Ok Jelmer and Chris, e,mail me your address and I will add you both to our subscriptions list. The magazines will be posted out from next Thursday. May I use your photos in the next Reptile care gallery?

[chris]

I will send you my address, Angi.

I think it's a shame nobody else responded and put up any pictures!

[jelmer]

How kind of you! I'll send you a pm right now, and sure you can use the picture.

I hope that now that the website is back online, more people will find this forum again.

Jelmer

[chris]

Right, I forgot that.
You can use my picture, Angi.
No problem at all.
