Recieved my first Apodora Papuana Female

@ Rage- Calypso is lookng great. Will your Papuans be ready to breed next year?

@ Zinc- I'm pretty sure she's eating a reptilink. I've never tried them but some keepers say their snakes love them.

She is eating reptilinks, as well as chicken.

I have heard a couple Apadora keepers say that theirs will not utilize a perch. This is not my experience, my girl uses hers regularly. She also knows when water bowl day is and she takes advantage of it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e6ba6a8ea7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...996fc12195.jpg

I think perches are all in how you set them up. I thought I read the Papuans were semi arboreal, I'd have to revisit the study to be sure, however even if not , it appears you have a climber.

I saw an interesting YouTube video of Jay at Prehistoric Pets with some Aussie olives and some Papuans. He said the Papuans were the strongest snakes he'd ever held that they are found to be like king cobras when it comes to preying on other snakes.

I think one of these is on my want list.

They are definitely the strongest snake I have ever had the privilege of keeping. They are very canabalistic, that's why it is so hard to breed them.

Cannibalistic? Made me think of that song...... "Oh my cherry pie! Taste so good to make a grown man cry." LOL.

Odysseus is hands down my favorite snake in my collection.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...11acb33bb8.jpg
