jan 23 (but late) - mangrove snake
these snakes are so pretty!! mildly venomous, you shouldn’t get them as a pet because they’re just cool. please do not get venomous snakes because they’re cool. only get them if you have the appropriate equipment and experience. please.
ok spiel over, i’ve actually been able to hold one of these guys! (without gloves. i am a hypocrite.) they are so pretty it distracts from the potential outcome of getting bit. anyways i chose them because they’re also called boigas and i think that is lovely. boiga boiga boiga boiga
these snakes are colubrids, which means they have a special gland that connects to the rear fangs in order for them to release venom. their specific toxin is called denmotoxin and has evolved to be bird-specific which is super interesting! they have a stable population which is also nice.

Snake Swag Bracket Round 1

Here we have a pair of rear-fanged venomous snakes! Mangrove snakes (Boiga dendrophilia) and false water cobras (Hydrodynastes gigas) have fixed fangs at the back of their mouth used to subdue prey as they eat. Although they are both venomous snakes, neither is considered a threat to humans, although their venom can cause pain, swelling, and irritation in and around the bite it is typically nonlethal to humans. In addition, rear-fanged venomous snakes must 'chew' their venom into prey, rather than being able to inject venom with one quick bite. Mangrove snakes are found in southeast Asia on the mainland as well as several surrounding islands. Nocturnal snakes, they spend the majority of the day resting and basking high in the trees, and will come down to the forest floor at night to hunt for food. False water cobras were named for their threat display of 'hooding up' by flattening their heads to appear larger, similar to a cobra--although this behavior is not exclusive to cobras, and is seen across many different species of snakes! They are native to South America, and found in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. They can be difficult to keep in captivity as they require very large enclosures--they can grow to be up to 8 ft long--and they are very active, curious snakes that will burrow, climb, and swim!

I'm working on a prop journal for my d&d main Thaddeus. He's the wizard/warlock who's a hollow one (undead) and this is his familiar. A mangrove snake named Theseus! I'm journaling his slow decent into madness since he sold his soul. He's a purple tiefling byw that's why his arm is purple. His hands are slowly growing black from his necromantic powers

What are your thoughts on mangrove snakes as pets? This is still for my story. The character in question starts with a Russian rat snake than a Vietnamese blue beauty. Would they be good for helping you get ready for a mangrove snake?
Mangrove snakes are advanced-level snakes, but I think the track you've set your character on here is realistic and a good one! Russian ratsnakes are generally really good first snakes; they're hardy and usually absolute sweethearts. My own Russian rat, Jojo, has never even thought about biting defensively in his entire life. Vietnamese blue beauties are a good step up into an intermediate-level snake, their care is a bit more difficult and their personalities are a lot more intense. They tend to be very defensive but not super jumpy, and their tags aren't bad, so they're a good first defensive snake. They communicate very clearly with tail rattling/hissing/open-mouthed threat displays when they're upset, so they're a good snake for learning snake body language from.
Mangrove snakes are definitely a step up, but they're especially doable if you have experience with bitey/defensive snakes like blue beauties. Their care is a little tricky - they need a big enclosure they can climb in, and they need it as humid as you can get it without their enclosure being wet. They are rear-fanged venomous (not medically significant to humans) and they tend to be very defensive, jumpy, and not at all afraid to show you what their bite feels like. They're snakes for experienced keepers who are able to confidently handle defensive snakes.
