Baby SERENA

Name : Mangrove Snake

Specific Name : (Bioga Dendrophila Melanota)

Category : Cat Snake

Mildly venomous

Found in Malaysia, Southern Asia in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Borneo and the Philippines

Occurs mainly in lowland jungles and mangrove swamps

Reaches length of about 2.5m

Thought of geting something smaller in size since I already had a python. Got this baby Mangrove last 3 weeks from some breeder with a very good price. This little baby is beautiful and has good contrast on it's skin.

I named it Serena !! =)

Serena feeds on lizard. Feeding wasn't a problem at all. As this snake grows older, it will turn to small mice.
It is mildly venomous, wont be able to kill a human, but a lizards like the one in the picture will do !

Same posture of swallowing their prey like any other snakes.

Check out those beauty eyes. Haha, it looks deadly but it is not, very tame instead.

There is a nice set up I made for this baby mangrove. Serena is only active at night, very shy instead, looks dead in the morning and is preparing for it's first shed one of this days.

That's all for it now, will blog about it once it turn a little bigger

Routine ended

It's been a stressful week, dealing with 2 weeks of hectic exams
Yet, it's finally over, 3 weeks of holiday are waiting for me . .

Time table for the 2 weeks of finals, Business Law was the killer one.

My whole house had turned into some big time study place 1 month before exams. Notes, books, laptops, cups for coffee are scattered everywhere in the living hall.

Mien Kuok, my beloved house mate and biggest influence for Gossip Girl and his long and precise swear words, haha
Well, he works hard this semester.

One of my friend bicycle was stolen by some Malay guy and was replaced with his rempit bike and sadly, even the paddles were gone. -_-

Anyways, goodbye exams and welcome holidays. Have a good holidays and take care everyone !
