got two new blacks this weekend, great patternation, and one is huge

Peter, How are you enjoying the swazi mambas? I am the guy who bagged them up for you from Thea's place. there were some nice lookers in there with the nice tail pattern. And a few that were a bit on the nutty end. Any of them calm down yet? Any pics you can post?

Well, about a month ago I got a young female black mamba. She's a little over 4 feet long and of Tanzanian locality. -Jamie

Who will have babys for next year?

i will hopefully have babies from all 5 species including blacks from a few different localities this summer.

Hi to all!

Now I want to get in line with my Dendroaspis polylepis!
I got her last year, the former owner said, that he bought the Mamba from Peter Zürcher. I think, the south-african colour of his male is a bit shining through (Sorry, I can´t post up a picture in the moment).
D. polylepis are my favours, not only because of their nice looking, but to a greater degree because of their behaviour! And I´m in love with the ones of South Africa because of their colour. Does anyone of you know a breeder or someone who can import animals out of this place?

Best regards,

Björn

This next one shows the removeable hide/shift box at the top. There is a small door at the side of the main cage which permits access to a sliding panel which securely closes the opening to the box. There is another cage underneath this one to maximize the available floor space.

From South Africa (SA)- Anyone that knows of somwonw who is keeping D. viridus in SA.
Thanks

great closeeups, thay are all fantastic

I keep 1.1 dendroaspis angusticeps.




cheers danny

Mamba's are on the top of my interests.
I keep Polylepis and angusticeps.

@ Its wc Manuel, almost every wild caught species got scars.
I hope that its going to get better after she sheds.
Its something you cannot overcome

regards,

Yes you can overcome this. Buy a CB animal if CB is widely available! The're something like 125 euro and with a good diet you will have the same length in no time. This has nothing to do with a passion for snakes. If you buy a WC animal because the're really rare and you want to breed them, that's pionering. This is animal cruelty.

The same goes for the Black. CB is something like 250. Spend a 100 more and raise a little one that doesn't know any better. Within 2 years you will have a huge 2 meter polylepis and an awesome animal for display. The animal you have was king of a huge area in Africa and is now put in a small cage. It's just too sad to see.

I keep and kept all Mamba's and there was never a need to buy a WC.
I just saved up a little longer.

It's nothing personal but I don't see one reason to buy these and make the next shipment possible.


Cheers, Ro.

Amen to that Ro, you are totally right!

I can totally agree with Ro !
Just have some more patience, save a little bit more money and look for a cb, those are widely available of this species so i wont see any reason to go with a WC like these.

yeah well, I won't help if I should say sorry buying a wild caught species, better prove that I am a worthy owner who can make this ''sad'' green one as it should be and give him the space he deserves. I really wanted mamba's for a long time, waiting on the right moment but to be honest I'd never see them offered captive bred, beleave me I almost always choose CB if possible. And about saving a little more money stefan I quess that wasn't the problem I payed a good price, and from inside information I payed CB price maybe even higher.

were do you think captive bred come from.?ive wild caught as im sure quite afew people have.mambas are very far and few between for captives.
