    New Gonyosoma prasina/Green Bush ratsnake pics

    Took these pictures of one of my remaining Green Bush babies from 2016 a few weeks ago. I was very happy with how they turned out, they are sometimes difficult to take good pictures of.
    (She was sold a few days later and is now at her new home)

    Pardon the substrate everywhere, the beginning of the photo session adventure included a trip through the water bowl. She was not a fan of the camera and kept trying to bite the lens.

    Wicked looking snake! Awesome!

    Looks handleable too? Or not so much?

    They are fairly typical Asian ratsnakes. Not for those that mind getting bit every now and then. These are more fast and whippy than biters, though they do that sometimes too. Husbandry is simple and very similar to Thai Bamboo Ratsnakes, which we also keep. These are less feisty than the O. p. coxi though. They are also semi arboreal and if given some height and stuff to climb and perch on, they will often sit up in the open during the day and watch what's going on. They are pretty good display snakes because of that.

    Definitely not lap snakes but not so unhandleable that caring for them is difficult. My adults will sometimes be chill enough to just wrap an arm and hang out while I clean and stuff. Not a snake I'd recommend to a beginner, for temperament, even though the husbandry is easy.
