Handling Mangrove Snake (Boiga dendrophila)

[@ELJ666]

Awe he's a good boy

[@NathansWildLife]

Does he ever bite and how did you get him so tame

[@KaizaThaDon]

Beautiful creature I must say. About to get one myself.

[@shreyasverma5157]

Amazing!

[@EvilTerry35]

Definitely some angry tongue action going on there. I'd like one but they seem to be more maintenance than what I currently own.

[@FactsSplash]

Beautiful snake...how often do you feed it and what do you feed it?

[@gyvnaciukas]

I feed it on quail eggs, mouses, rats, small birds every week or two.

Mine is pounding small live mice. He wasted no time converting over when he was a juvie

[@soarrefly]

So well behaved

[@OhioGuy216]

Natasha Figueroa it’s not happy at all, that tongue flicking is a warning, not it being curious.

[@lk_2696]

@@OhioGuy216 the tongue flicking is it sensing it's surroundings, figuring out where it is. It's how it "smells"

[@Darhan62]

These snakes are a rear-fanged colubrid with a nonlethal venom. I'm curious if it's ever bitten you, and if so, what that felt like if it injected any venom. I'll bet it would hurt more than a bite from a typical pet snake.

[@gyvnaciukas]

I was bitten few times. If I'd close my eyes, let corn and mangrove bite me, I couldn't tell the difference.

[@Darhan62]

@@gyvnaciukas Oh! That's good. :) I'm guessing it probably didn't inject any venom.

[@gyvnaciukas]

@@Darhan62 it did, but very few people react to their venom. I'm not one of them, till now, at least.

[@Darhan62]

@@gyvnaciukas Thank you. That's good to know.
