Talking I Finally got one! :)

I know this is not a great purchase to most people but I have been looking for a mangrove for a while and finally broke down and bought one. So far he is laid back and Early handled but I think the stress of the reptile show and being cool might be aiding in that we'll see one he gets settled in. I love the looks of these little snakes and arboreal makes them even better.

He's a little banged up but appears to be in great health 5 month captive so I'll let him settle in and see how he does. Here's a few quick pics I snapped tonight.





Enjoy

Yeah I am just fascinated by these guys and should have gotten them years ago but for some reason never found ones that looked to be in decent health.

Yup believe they have been taken off. However i believe over importing is causing a lot of problems.

He ate not trouble not teasing I'm about as happy as I can be about any snake eating F/T overnight. Glad I don't have to mess with lizards or scenting someone already did that work thankfully.
