New addition- Tioman Island Kukri Snake

[Awesomethepossum]

Very interesting snakes!

‘When I first read your title I immediately thought of the Kukri/khurkuri knives originating from the Gurkhas Indians.

I hope that she will easily take rodents, unless you have a reliable source for frogs and lizards.

Please post more about her progression.

I made sure she was established on rodents before moving forward with the purchase. The seller holds back his poorer feeders, but I was (am) also prepared if food refusals became an issue. The seller said quail eggs will fix this if that was the case, I know they feed on eggs in the wild.

She was feeding on pinks from the get-go. That in mind, I keep fresh quail eggs in the house, and offer her a cracked egg overnight on feeding days. But she hasn't refused a meal yet.

I've been looking into frog as another source as well. I've heard of someone offering frog legs to their kukri, I'll have to look more into that. But I'm very excited to be working with this species, I've been wanting to get one for some time now.
