Blandigs Nachtbaumnatter, Toxicodryas blandingii (HALLOWELL, 1844).

The article is about the Blandings night tree snake (Toxicodryas blandingii), a tree-dwelling snake found in tropical Africa. Four species are identified in the genus Toxicodryas. The Blandings night tree snake prefers moist forests, is nocturnal, and can grow up to 250 cm long. In terrariums, they are usually calm and docile, but caution is advised as they have venomous teeth. Keeping them requires a spacious terrarium with plenty of climbing branches and plants for visual barriers. The snake can reproduce year-round, with a clutch of 5 to 7 eggs per year. The article also describes the rearing of Blandings night tree snakes, in which the female has attached two eggs to the outside of the hatching box. The first baby hatched after 115 days. The juveniles are raised individually in glass terrariums and fed with live mice. It is noted that the venom of Toxicodryas blandingii contains a neurotoxin that appears to be stronger than that of Boiga species. The text also includes a list of captive-bred snakes of various species in 2022, including venomous species such as Vipera ammodytes meridionalis and Trimeresurus insularis.
