Default ID please... Angie maybe ? Boiga

Just a quick one (i know they aren't DWA).

Just got hold of two females, I think they may be a irregularis locality but I'm not sure, haven't looked too hard yet, just thought some people may know offhand.

Hi Mike

Ive not seen that many irregularis and the ones I have seen in the flesh look quite different to that, but I do believe it is possible.
It also reminds me somewhat of drapiezii, but not around the eyes.
Its pattern is similar to cynodon too, but just very faded out ( its pattern fades out in the way that the bloodred in corns does to start with - if you know what I mean)- it could be a cynodon - their colours vary sooo much.
It is also similar to siamensis, but more in colours than patterning.

You should email Gernot Vogel and ask him, Im sure he would help you, he seems very helpful. Maybe do a scale count which might help with a more definate identification.
Do you know its origins at all?

Please let me know when you find out, Im very interested to find out more if you dont mind


Anyway, I want it LMAO - you knew I would didnt you? For some reason Im very drawn to this sort of colouration in many snakes and geckos. I love the camoflauge capability - its a beautiful snake.
Best of luck with it Mike.

Which scale counts do you want ?

Even better come up to shropshire and see em for yourself. The little one is pretty calm, but no chucking it at me...LOL

The larger one is much nastier, when you grab its neck it flattens the head and curls its lip.

I will contact him to find to speak to him about them, they do look a lot like mine.
Another person who is very knowledgeable about boiga thinks it is an irregularis but probably from the island of celebes/sulawesi.

I will try to get the scale counts if i have time, might be able to get a shed as the one is due possibly this week, if it doesnt get chucked that is, the other is due in the next week or so, eyes have started to go.

The small one in the picture has eaten, the larger one hasn't yet but may after its shed. The smaller one is getting an attitude now as well, but not as bad as the larger girl.

Need to find a male now, got a male in the shop but its normal brown colours.

Pretty big teeth in them, don't look too much at first, but then the one opens its mouth wider and flattens its head, then the teeth seem to swing forward and are very easy to see.

Mike
