Nice ones dude. I wonder how it got that gash on the head. Seems to be healing well though.
And God has Created every animal from water, of them are some creeping on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some on four. God Creates what He wills, for sure God has Power over all things. (Noble Quran 24:45)

Is that really a male Boogy. I thought you guys had the greenest Boomslang males.
If I'm gonna be an old, lonely man, I'm gonna need a thing, you know, a hook, like that guy on the subway who eats his own face. So I figure I'll be Crazy Man with a Snake, y'know. Crazy Snake Man. And I'll get more snakes, call them my babies, kids won't walk past my place, they will run. "Run away from Crazy Snake Man, " they'll shout!”

Beautifull, Naja mossambica kouthia ? Haha

Boomer's first pick reminds me of olive grass snake, Dispholidus mossambicus ?





Nice, those two could of been real problems, well done. :smt006 :smt023

Microlepidotus this year is not beginning well for you.

The posters name is Boogy. The snake you are referring to is from the genus Psammophis not Dispholidus which is the Boomslang.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

You are right BV, I am only being sarcastic.

I know Boomslang is Dispholidus typus and and Olive grass snake Psammophis mossambicus. I'm only saying the Boomslang in the first pic reminds me of an olive grass snake and has big eyes and head shape like a boomslang so I would call it Dispholidus mossambicus, (although it really is Dispholidus typus, I know that, just being sarcastic)
The Mozambique spitting cobra has a ring like a Monocled cobra and body appereance and colour of the M'fezi, so I would call it Naja mossambica kouthia ( although it is Naja mossambica, I know that, and once again only being sarcastic)

If my sarcasm is upsetting you please say so and I will stop.

That boomslang in the last pic has unusually rough skin. They should reclassify it as Dispholidus horridum.

Was pleasantly surprised that it was one! Refering to color I also told the person who gave me the call out that it was female. On investigating it after wresteling it out of a bloody small canary cage, I realised it to be male. Totis and long tail and all. I dont mind the Sarcasm, I think I started it?
