Sneaky Snake

[Tongue Flicker]

Another one of my top favorite snake, Dryophiops philippina. Not as brightly colored as most conventionally kept snake species are and maybe some of you have only heard of this snake until today but i assure you they are a delight to own. A similar looking cousin, Dryophiops rubescens, exists in Thailand.

It moves in a semi-sidewinding movement on the ground and sways its head side to side to mimic a twig blown by the wind.

Always alert and quick to escape

Even as matured adults, they are just as thin as a pencil but grows to almost a meter long. Way thinner than Asian Vinesnakes (Ahaetulla)

Happy Thursday!

Ooh... Pretty! I've always loved the skinnier snakes, personally. Where could they be available?

I don't think they are commercially available. Other than Thailand, they can only be found in the Philippines. Even in those two countries they are rarely encountered or even seen

This one is a perfectly conditioned 4 year old (in captivity) wild-caught snake that was trapped in my resort house's bathroom lol.
