Dispholidus typus

Everytime I look at them I get the itch! Boomslangs are very high on my list of venomous and I have seen CB babies available occasionally but it seems like they are becoming rarer in the herp trade as of late. It always seemed that whenever they were available I was already focused on getting other African colubrids and just did not the extra funds for them. I was wondering if anyone out there knew of anyone trying to get rid of theirs or works breeding them?

I wouldn't worry about it much. Things come in and out of the hobby and "pest" animals like boomers will be back. Rad snakes though.

Yeah just never when i have any money! It always happens that way! I just remember when you would see them for sale all of the time on KS and here in the 2 years or so there just hasn't been much to pick from Boomslang wise. Sucks they are awesome colubrids and I would like to add some to my collection. Oh well

Im sure you'll find one just keep looking Although your right about not seeing them around much I have seen more viperea and Elapid snakes for sale then Boomslangs
