its the common vine snake i was looking into. we have boas and pythons {also had kings,corns and a few lizards till i down sized} i had hoped to find a vine snake or a parrot snake {wich i found out is not to great in captivity so thats a no go as well} i think the one i saw at the show was a common vine. and i have no idea where that one would be from....the seller was not real informed at all {plus i think it was a wc snake, the guy was NOT real sure who he got it from} thanks for what you know. at least now i have a starting point to google more info. also would you recomend a vine as our first hot? and all it eats are lizards? no pinkys at all? very cool indeed  |

As for a good first "hot"... hard to say they are rear fanged, but they rarely bite (being that I only have experience with Ahaetulla.. so I am assuming its that) and if they bite, its nothing but a mere scratch. they do stress a bit easily, so definitely not one to always handle.. but providing a nice decorated naturalistic set up, you will have no problems at all. More space, the better for a vine snake.

now as for the lizards are the anoles? i can get them dirt cheep at the shop we get feeders at. also would a tall or long tank be better? {i assume tall since they seem to be in trees alot?} now the silly questions lol. how much should one cost me and where can i get a healthy one from? do i need any permits? {im in KY,USA,, and cant really own the kinds id like to have} and would i need an anti venom or is there venom more like a scorpoin sting? i am full of questions  |

now as for anoles...easy to breed your own or better to buy? I can get them for 2-3 bucks a piece {about like mice...rats are more...breeding time!} |

And we did have that idea as well. get maybe 50 anoles, feed them good and keep them a while then get the vine snake. Now is 50 enough to start with? And how many anoles will a baby vine eat? {we would like to have a baby if possible} Also we hope to switch all our snakes over to tubs soon. the tanks are to bulky and a pain to keep humidity up. what size tub would a vine need as an adult? and i swear google is uesless at times. care sheets for a vine are almost impossible to find! |

Tub + vine snake..... noooo. please. no. Think of them as a display animal. LOTS of greenery and branches. Naturalistic enclosures are the way to go with them. they are strictly arboreal. If possible, buy a large flexarium and you can put a small tree/plants etc in them. I feed my vine snake every week.. though, they will eat nonstop if allowed. Vine snakes are Indonesian (the ones we are speaking about) so keep them at about 78-86F and humidity can drop every now and then.. but keep it around 70-80% when possible. Mist them every day since they onyl drink when it "rains". |

if all goes well im swaping my balls to tubs this month. so i will have 2 50 gal tanks {one is empty the other has a 5ft boy in it. he has losts of stuff.} a ton of 10 gal and a few mesh tanks {the lizard kind? not sure what they are called but the shop gave them to me} saddly i think my vine snake plans are on hold atm. i just recived a female ball whos owner is now in jail...for no less than 15 yrs. shes a mess :( good news is she was free and i know how to fix her. so vine snake may have to wait. just gives me more time to get all the things i need! |
