Awesome fang shot. The Boomslangs i'm familar with are much greener, almost green mamba green. Are there different localities? or do they age and become blacker?

Some males will turn balck during mating seasons and turn back to green later.
Females tend to be Brown in color as adults and babies tend to have a lot of blue.
But there are black females as the one pictured and also brown males. Ray Hunter has a male that turns from black to green. i believe it has nothing to do with locales though. Just with the snake. My male is always black.
Not sure why but I have always been captivated by Gabon vipers, just such an amazing snake.

Mangroves are hot. If it is illegal to own venomous where you live they are then against the law.
mangroves are rearfanged and usually aggresive snakes. Their set up is more important then anything else. I would not say they are for the beginner. I set mine up with three hides one in the canapy. I keep a hot spot in the canopy atleast 95. Cool on the ground around 82.
They can be switched to mice and rats.
This has to be one species I can say I know a lot about lol.
