Boiga dendrophila (mangrove snake)

[Snake_Eyes]

I've seen that at least one person on here has kept one before. For those that has kept one...

How long did you keep it for and what was it's growth rate like?
What is it's overall size(girth) in relation to say...a ATB?
What size enclosure did you keep yours in?
Was it WC or CB and did you have any trouble getting it to feed?

I've only been able to find one caresheet so far, So I'm trying to get as much info as possible...thanks.

stop thinking medium sized boa and start thinking more large large colubrid, because that's what they are. they're rear fanged, get to about 8 feet max, so roughly the size of the beauty snakes. also rather active and usually high strung and they're very variable in temperment but can give a nasty bite which i *think* is just real bad swelling and pain, almost positive no deaths from mangroves. and that's all i remember off the top of my head. i can go probably find more on them somewhere but i don't remember where.

I knew the overall length of them but was wondering about the girth. Is this the typical adult size(girth) of a beauty snake? http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/index.php?photo=28089

Looks about right. I believe they are a bit bigger in girth but I have never had experience with a full blown adult, only about a 5' sub adult

This is basically the same article. The article was written by the same person, just the one in the magazine has a few changes, nothing major

Yup, that's about the average girth of a full grown beauty snake. Mangroves are gorgeous, I'm just not brave enough to mess with even rear fanged venomous!
