Vine snake

[snakeguy101]

I think an old friend of mine has a vine snake that is eating f/t fuzzies for sale, I will see if he still has it available if you want.

EDIT: he still has it and is asking $50 for the snake and an extra $20 if you want the cage to go with it. PM me if you are interested.

You're right, the display tank near the register has a pair of them that are not for sale but across from that the cages that have chameleons in them had one or two of those for sale too.

really?? awesome!!! i didnt think they sold venom at the store(yes i know this snake is barely venomous but it does have a very very very mild venom)

and chloe, find one!! the only issue appears to be all are wild caught(so u have initial parasites to worry about) and difficult to get them to eat mice. they like lizards and rarely small birds. it is possible to get them to eat mice though

best thing that iv found works to get feeding going is, to put some 'girly toys' on the side and cover rub (if in rub) with a towel.
always works with ball pythons for me.
im sure my bosc wont mind me rubbing pinkies all over him lol

here is what I was sent:

He is a late cb 08 asian vine snake hatched around november/december, he is now between 3-4 feet I haven't gotten around to accurately measure him. I have successfully got him eating live pinkies, though he will also still eat anoles. He eats only live prey though. He's $50 alone or $70 with cleaned cage and it's accessories. He is a little cage aggressive, but he is pretty docile when he is out. Though his teeth are to small to even break the skin. He has never given me problems and has never missed a meal, also I've had nothing but full sheds from this snake. He remains unsexed because I don't have small enough equipment to probe him to give an accurate sex, though I believe him to be a male. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks.
