Tongue Flicker Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Another one of my top favorite snake, Dryophiops philippina. Not as brightly colored as most conventionally kept snake species are and maybe some of you have only heard of this snake until today but i assure you they are a delight to own. A similar looking cousin, Dryophiops rubescens, exists in Thailand. It moves in a semi-sidewinding movement on the ground and sways its head side to side to mimic a twig blown by the wind. Always alert and quick to escape Even as matured adults, they are just as thin as a pencil but grows to almost a meter long. Way thinner than Asian Vinesnakes (Ahaetulla) Happy Thursday! ^__^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acro Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Beautiful! Are you breeding them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tongue Flicker Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 I tried but the hatchlings never made it past a month. Guess they don't do well in captivity as i thought they would. I'll try again later this month. It's rainy season here which is he perfect time for their breeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
