Common Tree Snake Keepers & Breeders

[Dippy]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in buying a couple of Blue Phase Common Tree Snakes as my first Colubrids... And was just wonder who will be selling them this year and when? Also I am curious as to their general personality... I know that in the wild they are gone the second they see you and are extremely flighty, so I am curious to find out what having these guys in captivity is like... Do they tame up like our pythons do with constant handling or do they retain their flightiness?

Cheers guys

There actualy good snakes to keep once you got them feeding on mice or baby rats and they tame up well
just a little faster than carpets.

That's good, Any recommendations for cage size for 2 adults? Or even a single adult?

 

[Jason.s]

I keep mine in there own cages they are about 1200x600x600mm with heaps of branches big water dish and lots of green
fake plants with a hide I made out of a cd draw with a hole drilled in the front mounted under the basking light so it can sit on top and bask.

So a 4X2X2 will be enough for two adults? and which is better a vertical or a horizontal in your opinion?

 

[Jason.s]

I think it's personal choice i've had them in both they didn't seem to mind as long as they have stuff to climb on and some
places to hide.

Awesome, Will you be breeding? or do you know where i can buy a pair? thanks again.

 

[Jason.s]

They are indeed, I like all of the Common tree's but the Blue phase is definitely my favorite. I dont know about anyone else but the Blue Phase with the white belly instead of the yellow is my fav =)

 

[Jason.s]

I like the blue phase my frend has one but it's a female to i like the black and yellow ones to.

 

[Dippy]

I'm thinking about getting a Blue phase and a Green phase just to mix it up a little.

 

[Jason.s]

Let us know how you go, it would be interesting to see if you mixed the colours.
