The gift of life is the best gift of them all.. ('coz love is the greatest? @_@)

Picked up this egg during my vacation in one of the tropical paradises in South-east Asia. Only God knows what's inside. I found it inside a hollow tree stump.



3 weeks later... Boom! Thank goodness it's not a cobra! Lol




A few hours after force hatching/egg C-section. The egg was starting to mold and catch a lot of unwanted fungal growths





Starting to act normal



At 2 days old, this one's a hearty-eater :D




Released the fella back into the wild. Sad to see it go but that's how it should be :D

Besides, I already have an adult version of him/her. Right, Fido? :D



Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys! :)

It's a dog-toothed cat-eyed snake (Boiga cynodon).. closely related to mangroves/gold-rings as well as those pesky brown tree snakes in guam lol. The leaf was just there to prevent the egg from getting too moist. Got the egg from Indonesia. I live in the currently troubled region of the middle-east. I got it home via legal means as well as diplomatic connections haha! :p
