My drapiezii have arrived

[Admin - Angi]

Well I feel like I've won the lottery, today I became the lucky owner of 7 Boiga drapeizii - the brown form. I have no idea of sexes yet.
They're wild caught but in great condition, not dehydrated at all and they have been feeding on tadpoles of all things over the last couple of weeks. Some of them have nose rub, but that is to be expected with any wild caught snakes, it should heal and isnt too bad on any of them.
I've got them set up in pairs and one singly in tubs with large water bowls, branches and leaves, plus coco fibre and bark. They were all given Panacur as a matter of course and what is pretty amazing is that 6 out of 7 have taken a pinkie today! I am CHUFFED to bits. Here's some photos for you all.

Hi Angi,

they look great!! I wasn't that enthousiastic when you told me at Houten about your incoming drapiezii's, but when I see them now and read that they ate their first MICE.....

You're a lucky girl

Hi All
They are gorgeous!!
I got my first Boiga last weekend ...its a male B.drapeizii...an adult male green form.
Hmmm! ...how do I attach photo's on here???

Kind regards Paul

Thankyou. 4 of them fed again today.
Sadly one of them has eaten its smaller cagemate - so be warned not to keep them together.

I guess that's a small price to pay for caging them together. I had that same problem with garter snakes before. I quickly separated the two remaining, as I'm sure you did with the rest of your snakes. Those are beautiful snakes. What type of camera did you use to get those excellent shots?

[Admin - Angi]

Actually, it hadn't eaten its cagemate - I didnt look hard enough, lol! So thats good news. Also, they are all now in separate enclosures.
All 7 are doing very well and continue eating defrost, occassionally eating a pinkie/fuzzy left in their cage but mostly requiring assistance. I have given 1 to a friend who is a boiga enthusiast and his eats without assistance everytime. Also we have two of them for sale in my partners shop as I am content to keep 2 pairs. If anyone is interested then let me know, we would like them to go to someone with a strong interest in boigas.

trying my best to start up a good few breeding collections and love these snakes! especialy the drapieazii! btw i can't see them pics so you can always send them to [e-mail]. also i'd be interested to know where you got them from. thanks for any help.
