Re: Cyclophiops major

So it seems odd to me that one of my snakes dug a depression about 3" deep and 6" around into the substrate and hangs out in it. It is usually a bad sign when an arboreal reptile decides to hang out on the ground. Trying not worry about it...

Re: Cyclophiops major

Don't worry. Limon made full use of his entire cage.

He scared me before by burrowing completely out of sight, when I disturbed his substrate he flew out and right up his tree.

That's why I think they may even go after worms in the wild.

Anticipation of morning is killing me.......

I found tunnels in the substrate. They must really go after worms with a vengeance and not wait for worms to come to the surface. That is really cool

Re: Cyclophiops major

theres a guy on the british forum bringing in an export from china next month.these green guys are on the list.ive asked the guy to contact his private breeder in china to ask if he has managed to get them eating in captivity.the guy in china has a huge list of things he can export.most things on the list are wild caught but a few things the guys captive bred himself from his original wild caught ones.as far as i know the chinese green snakes are all wild caught.but i figured if the chinese guy has them eating in captivity in china then it would be interesting to see what he is feeding them.i will let you all know if i find out anything about captive feeding and the husbandary of these lovely green fellows.
cheers shaun

to me the scary part of the import is how cheap they are selling them for.its £25 = $36.75 for each green snake.this fills me with horror as there will be loads of folk going " oh look at them nice green snakes.theyre very cheap.i'll buy a few and see how it goes ".im with the rest of you on this subject in saying until more is known about their feeding habits they shouldnt be getting exported all over the world just so they can starve to death.

I would wager that these snakes are wild caught and shipped very quickly.. bet they have never ate in captivity on arrival. Can't sell them for much when in poor health.
