Guess what I am Snakes!!! LOOK

Schlyne: South American Cribo?

nope , ill give you another clue - im non venemous and live in a country that is this planets largest island

I am native to Amerca, come in patterns of earthy tones and even black, and my facial feature is indicative of my name.I am quite small, and primarily a ground dweller. However, my most interesting feature is that I am the best actor in the snake world, even defecating on myself to make myself smell like a rotten, decaying, unappetizing creature.

I am one of the rarest Pythons available. Not common to find in zoo's, or private collections, also hard to find in its war-torn regions of Namibiaa, and surrounding areas. i can range in at about 5 to seven feet in length, and mature sexually at about 5 feet.
Ive been bred to another species to formk a hybrid.
I have small, beaded like conical scales. What am i?

pslsnakes - angolan python.
4theSNAKElady - hognose.

Yep. My ALL time favorite snake. But 5k is a little too steep for me.


Heres the link to the pics. http://www.jaguarpython.com/docs/angolan.htm

These are fun and all, but let's do a few that aren't seen in the hobby very often. Here's a head-scratcher:

Rear-fanged nocturnal arboreal colubrid found in tropical south america including Trinidand and Tobago. It has large ruby-red eyes. Some individuals have a collar of white behind their red head. They have a somewhat washed-out looking red body with black bands.

Have fun researchin' :D

hmmm....I have found three common names for this guy, none of which have cat or catsnake in them. If you are thinking of Boiga sp. then you are on the wrong continent. Another hint: It shares one of it's common names with a very recognizable tree frog.

-Evan

Make that four common names, just found another. :D


-Evan

No takers? It's Tripanurgos compressus, but I believe the genus has officially been changed to Siphlophis now.
Common names include:
Red-eyed tree snake
coralsnake mimic
Mapepire De Fe (probably a local name?)
and banded tree snake

Maybe this one was a little too obscure, but I had to do it. When I saw a pic of this snake in Harry Greene's book, Snakes, The Evolution of Mystery in Nature a couple years ago, it was so strikingly different, it stuck in my head as one of my favorites.

-Evan

wow what a beauty! :tongue2:
i can see why it stuck in your mind
