  • theyre like 35$ at lllreptile

  • @cheatcodeme I just looked at LLL Reptile, and they're selling Asian vine snakes--a different species of Ahaetulla, though they don't specify which. I assume Ahaetulla prasina, though I'm not certain. Those snakes grow much larger than the Ahaetulla fronticincta shown in this video. They are also lizard eaters, not fish eaters, and supposedly will rarely if ever switch to eating rodents. I've never seen Ahaetulla fronticincta available to the pet trade (but I haven't been looking, either.)

  • how much are they and were do you get them

  • @AlbertoMuse The ones in the video are at Woodland Park Zoo. They aren't available in the pet trade as far as I know. Not many US zoos/aquariums have them, either--the California Academy of Sciences brought the first ones into the US in 2001.

  • they get like 10 feet if im correct and they only get like 2 inchest thik kinda neat

  • @169batman691 This type of vine snake only gets about 3 feet long and is pencil thin. They're arboreal and eat only fish.

  • @AlbertoMuse go to a reptile show, they will have vine snakes. i recently got one, very tame and good looking snakes.

  • @Tarantulife thank you !!!!!

  • @AlbertoMuse Try at a snake or reptile expo, i have seen them for sale a few times. suprisingly they where not expensive at all.

  • @queenpasiphae damn there so cool

  • And then we found out it was only a puppet on a string. Damn you Woodland Park Zoo staff, with your trickery!
