Templer Pit Viper

Common name : Wagler Pit Viper
Scientific name : Tropidolaemus wagleri

My first venomous species in captivity. Check out this simple aqua terrarium, high humidity is needed by this vipers, helps defecation, digesting, shedding.

Will transfer to a bigger tank once it grow bigger, maximum length approximately around 1meter. For now is just fine as this snake stay still for days without moving, just roosting, sometimes just a slight move around.

Just had her first meal and shit last night, it took nearly 3 weeks to pull it off. *Humidity is very important*

More update about her soon when everything settle down, will study her and more photos be coming up.

Easily recognized by its triangle head, very different species compare to my other snakes. Different behavior, different habitat . . cool bugger =)

Directions, Jabatan Perhilitan Shah Alam

Having problems getting there? Me too, even for the second time =)

Turn to Shah Alam on Kesas Highway, you will be passing by industrial area on your both sides, there will be a Mcd on your right during the journey.

Head straight all the way, there will be like 4 roundabouts but head 12 o'clock for all of them. This will lead you to a huge blue mosque, you will be passing some traffic lights as well, keep going straight.

Take the flyover as you can see from the picture, follow section 8.

It will leads you to some housing garden, slow down and check out for this junction, keep right and turn into Jalan Liku, there will be some flats beside you, remember to slow down.

Once turning into Jalan Liku, head straight till you see this sign board on your left with perhilitan address above and turn right into Jalan Lanar. The office is situated right inside some housing garden where there are double stories around.

Entrance, grab the address, use it on a gps, problem solved =D

After doing your exotic licence etc etc, take a few steps to check out some of the rampas animals situated beside the parking areas.

Not many animals can be found there, some parrots, monkeys, iguanas, there used to be eagles around, don't know what they did to it.

Hope this helps. =)

Paradise Tree Snake, Morib Beach

I expected herping to get snakes but lepaking do get snakes as well =)
This is Morib beach in Banting, early afternoon where flying snakes are most active.

Found this fellow gliding through the grass, just a few meters from the beach.

Very handsome Paradise Tree Snake, fully grown adult, aggressive, long, fast . . . . .

Sign, reminds me of 3 baby hatclings Paradise Snake I had before.

Will try to feed it with frogs or lizards after 3 days. =D

Didn't expect it to occurred near the beach, there are some little small oil palms around but still it is not suppose to go near sea water, maybe it leave them no where to go due to current developments around. =(

The beautiful forest of Kampar awaits you which is rich in ecosystem or you will be my pet or some others =D

My Normal Ballies

Guess what, I bought 10 mice from Dylan today and all of them suffocated to death on my way back. This is how it happens, we met up in a nearby Mcd and I forgot to bring a tank to carry those mice, so I ended up putting all inside a plastic bag and bring it back. Duration of traveling is around 10 minutes but however, all dead upon arrival.

Me without wasting time, took out those 2 ballies and first time feeding dead suffocated mice.

Meet Mighty Stone on a Gigantic Mountain a.k.a Rex =D
He doesn't enjoy dead mice so much, it took a minute or two by teasing it in front of him before he made a strike.

He is nearly 2ft now, very good weight I can see. No weighing machine to weigh =(

He took two that day, second mice is easier as he strike it right away.

Meet Season in the Sun a.k.a Season, lol. I love naming them, kuok said we should name them like how people name their Golden Retriever, haha.

Season is a girl, took a long time to tease as well, moreover this is the first time I'm offering a black mice. =P

Her weight has drop as I can feel it by picking her up or even by observing her skin, she'd vomited from her last 2 meal. I have quarantined her for 2 weeks and here she ate again, 2 mice. Hopefully she will digest it this time.

Back to their plastic enclosure, lazy to decorate or set up a glass one, haha, too lazy to wash.

What are you looking at . . LoL
