I have never seen an asian vine this big before. this is not an oxybelis, this is a large ahaetulla nasuta. thats unbelievable. the biggest one i saw before this was an ahaetulla nasuta i owned, it was 4.5 feet and thicker than my thumb. this snake here takes the cake.

Jordan I know you keep em but do you breed them to? Is anyone in Canada? How toxic is their venom?
Thanks,

i will be attempting breeding very soon! i have one perfect adult pair that are knocking down rodents. heres a pic of me with the male. The venom is quite mild, with worst case's resulting in bad headache and vomiting along with a local burning sensation.

no, thank goodness :D. i am kinda curious, but i like my streak of never being bitten by a venomous snake before. i have had a few other people tell me it hurts like hell. so i am going to avoid it.

That's an awesome looking Vine. And I agree, we got some hooks from the same 'very friendly couple out in Saskatchewan', and we think the hooks are a dream. They've come in handy many times. :)

Vines are so cool but I don't have time for the extra care nor the breeding experience to make them a good investment. It really is too bad captive bred, mouse eaters aren't available.
