Philodryus baroni!

I actually picked this gal up last month but have been exceedingly lazy about sharing her on the forum... well, I've been exceedingly lazy about posting on the forum in general recently but hey, look at this neat snake!






Surprisingly under appreciated species in the hobby and although my intentions were to just keep her as a pet, I'm completely hooked and I plan to get together a small breeding group somewhere down the line once I'm better familiarized with the species!

that is a cool looking snake. Nice pickup

Very cool pickup . How are you keeping her?

[MisterKyte]

Pretty much the same way you'd keep a Cornsnake however I am tweaking around with humidity levels since I've received rather conflicting advice on the matter since some people say more humid while others say go arid. So far I'm trying to see how she responds to a more humid environment and depending on the condition of her next shed, I'll go on from there. She doesn't seem to mind either way though and eats like a monster, heh.

Nice looking snake, how is her temperament?

[MisterKyte]

Tad skittish during the first few weeks and musked on everything but she's calmed down nicely. Still fast as a rocket though!

These are on my short list! Big congrats on this pick up! She is a looker too!

[MisterKyte]

Yeah, they're really cool critters! I'd actually kind of happened upon her at a local reptile shop and then decided to grab her the next month when I found out she was still for sale and so glad I did.
Honestly, considering how easy they are to care for and how cool they look, I'm a bit surprised they aren't more common in the hobby.

Bonus feeding pictures from this morning.
