Thanks Herp_Doctor, I am planing to release this in the wild this weekend, Its better na buhi-an ni nako than to see this helpless species died.

Plan to get a cornsnake instead, any idea where i can find one, i already went to pippers pero wala pa cla stock even sa manila wala pa sad, any one here in cebu na-ai baligya na cornsnake with a reasonable price...

sir herp_doctor ahmmm ask lng kow wat kind of snake is a banogon and baboyon(black colored venomous snake native to leyte or phil)? is banogon a king cobra and naa bai viper diri sa phil?

Can you post a refference photo? I'm not very good at tackling local names of species. Or atleast describe it's habitat & locality, body & color morph, time of day usually sighted, etc..

Yes, Leyte isl. has a lot of venomous snakes species. 3 viperids, 5 elapids, around 12 venomous colubrids and about 3 hydrophids...

Too bad. I pity the snake.. But i even felt sorry for the person who bought it. He'll never know what to do with it, or worst if he got into a little accident..

Hello, I have a pet retic I bought her about 8 months ago, she was only about 2 ft long when I first bought her, now she's about 3-4 ft long.

These pictures are taken about 4 months ago.

[herp_doctor]

@dhingarhdz -- Pretty cute retic you have now. At 3-4ft., that's still a baby. Question is, what are you gonna do then if it'll be over 10 or 15ft. adult, and weighs around 50kgs or more?

That's a Dog-toothed Catsnake Boiga cynodon.
Arboreal, nocturnal, back-fanged, mildly-venomous colubrid. And i suggest you take that mice out of it's enclosure, as that's not particularly their diet.
This is a very hard to keep snake. Most captives don't last a year. Either they die or they find ways to escape (yes, they're great escape artist). If you ever plan on keeping this snake, make your enclosure large enough for the snkae to stretch its entire body lenght horizontally and vertically. Vivariums must also be side-open oriented (not top, mind you). Moist environment (not wet) with relative humidity (70%) and basal temp. of 25-28*celcius.
Check for parasites (internal and external).
They're picky tukkers, and they're quite aggressive at night too. They don't usually bite, but they expectorate this foul-smelling corrosive liquid that doesn't wash off when they're threatened or disturbed. In the vent they do bite, their venom is considerably non-life threatening, but must also be taken into consideration due to the fact that their venom delivery system is "primitive", thus inadequate. But a few serious cases of B.cynodon bites have been medically documented too.





Catsnake yes, but no cigar on the Wagleri mate.
There's never a brown color morph on Temple vipers (T. wagleri). And one factor in identifying a snake is head scalation and morphology.

Remember that, my young Padawan... Hehehe

hehehe catsnake!! so I guessed it right then ahihihih~ funny though, dog-tooth cat snake.. whoever found this snake first is a funny man, hehehe..

question sir, colubrids do have lidless eyes? dilated i mean.. I thought kasi catsnakes are of viper family.. enlighten me~ tnx
