Caramel mangrove snake

Here is something cool I thought I would share with you guys. I might be getting it or some of its offspring if I get the cash in time. Has anyone else seen anything like it? Might be interesting to see how it proves out.

The one in the ad looks like a Hypo, which I think are also called Caramels should be a recessive gene.

Mangroves are really awesome, really wish they were easily available here.

Hope you come right and acquire it.

Has anyone successfully bred boiga.dendrophilia in S.A?

I spoke to the breeder and if it's still a available in the winter months it's mine. If not then I will get some hets.

I actually had some that looked like that. I was also under the impression that it's a hypo or caramel of sorts but it turned out to be a locality rather than a morph after speaking with a couple of well known keepers and researchers. But you never know.

They are very pretty but $1200 is absolutely crazy !

I agree 1200 is a bit much. But this breeder has a pattern he posts a ridiciolsldy priced morph in hopes some crazy person will buy it. Then he slowly brings it down about four hundred bucks. When it's selling for eight hundred I will snatch it up.
