Another day, another hue of Gonyosoma frenatum.

13/08/2023

Gonyosoma hainanensis, the elusive Hainan « rhino » ratsnake. 8 months in and this little one hasn’t grown that much despite weekly (and voracious !!) feedings. One of the slowest growth I’ve observed in the Gonyosoma genus.

One may say that we’re partial to Gonyosoma… and that’s actually true. We currently keep 5 species of this fantastic genus, and will mostly focus on them in the upcoming years.
Pictured here is one of our Gonyosoma oxycephalum, 2022 CB female. 🐉

Pretty, isn’t she ?

Well, before getting all worked up about this species, mark my word: EVERY Gonyosoma frenatum will someday go through a blue phase. Every single one of them. You will rarely see the shade of blue this specimen exhibits, but there will definitely be bluish tones between the baby grey and the adult green color, that’s just how the onthogenetic shift works with them. Now, the so called « blue lines » are something else. The juvenile blue is usually more intense, ranging from deep turquoise to cobalt blue. But will they keep those fancy hues until adulthood ? There is no way to tell it for sure. I’ve seen some wonderful teal subadults keep their color, a dull juvie turn deep blue, a solid cobalt blue couple producing green offspring… this peculiar color IS a line bred trait, but is totally unpredictable. So is genetics. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I will sell babies at various prices depending on the parents, labelling them as green, turquoise or blue lines. I mean, who wouldn’t ? But I always warn future clients about the gamble they’re about to make: I can never guarantee that those snakes are going to stay blue as they grow. There is a chance they will, but also a chance they won’t. Take your ticket for the genetics lottery. 🧬

Vous êtes nombreux à avoir rejoint la page dernièrement et nous vous en remercions énormément !
Quoi de mieux pour accueillir les nouveaux venus que notre magnifique femelle Elaphe (ex Orthriophis) taeniura taeniura qui vous gratifie de son plus joli sourire ? 😄

Cette demoiselle est d’ailleurs gravide et nous espérons une belle ponte prochainement ! 🥚

♂Gonyosoma frenatum, blue line yearling.

0.1 Hainan ratsnake baby (Gonyosoma hainanensis), at 7 months old. Although very similar to her cousin the rhino ratsnake (Gonyosoma boulengeri) at their juvenile stage, they are completely different species !

Rahona - ♀Uroplatus phantasticus. This pretty lady will soon be paired with a stunning male owned by ReptiFeel's 🍂 Fingers crossed for the upcoming breeding season 🤞🏻

Gonyosoma prasina, the blue eyed beauty. Pictured here is our sub-adult male. They may be the smallest species in the Gonyosoma genus, but they’ve got quite an attitude ! 👀

Our stunning male Gonyosoma frenata out in the sunlight for some pictures. This 3 years old male has been through quite an amazing color change ranging from the sub-adult light blue to this solid teal color. A matching female will arrive very soon, and we can’t wait to produce more of those gems in the future !

Big female Paradise flying snake (Chrysopelea paradisi) basking. These snakes flatten their body in order to absorb the sun rays and the heat more efficiently. Truly fascinating. ☀️

Here is one of our youngest Uroplatus phantasticus displaying his fiery colors.
No wonder they are called Satanic leaf-tailed geckos… 🔥

21/06/2022

It’s now time to introduce our other species, and what’s a better start than this young Goniurosaurus orientalis ? 🇯🇵
This small gecko from the Eublepharidae family is endemic to the Ryūkyū archipelago in Japan where they inhabit rocky, humid areas. Do not mistake them for leopard geckos ! Not only are they two completely different genus, but they also live in a completely different biotope !

We look forward to work with this amazing species in close cooperation with ReptiFeel's without whom none of this would have been possible. Thank you again, and let’s keep our fingers crossed for next year ! 🤞🏻
