Default Oxybelis Fulgidus

Does anyone on here keep these snakes at all, I couldn't see them on the DWA list and was just curious to see if anyone knew much about them. I don't keep hots or intend to in the near future but at some point I wouldn't mind.

You are pretty unlikely to find any in the trade. They do sometimes come up but very rarely.
Don't get confused with the other 'green vine snake' the ahaetulla's, which are much easier to get hold of.

The oxybelis are generally fairly easy to get over to rodents (for this type of snake), whereas the ahaetulla's are sods to get over.

If you can get hold of the oxybelis you will have a fair chance of getting it to survive as long as you are used to WC lizard/frog feeders. The ahaetulla's tend to be quite happy to die at the slightest provocation.

Off hand I can't remember but I'm pretty sure the venom is going to be much worse. The hoggy venom is very weak compared to most other rear fanged.
