thats all for now guys i hope you could help me with this unidentified snake:(

Well, that would be a Cerberus sp., like I said in one of the earlier threads. :) Also known as the Dog-faced water snake.

There are two species of them in the Philippines, C. rynchops and C. microlepis.

well i searched it in the internet and stefan was right thank you mr stefan your a preety much great help....but one more thing can i set up an enclosure the same as the enclosures for a garter snakes but ill put a larger water dish:D

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

uhh i dont know if u can visually sex that species i would say female if u can. Has it eaten any fish? and ya im pretty sure thats from a missed shed or starting to shed i would give her a bath and then see if u can pull it off, that looks pretty thick, is it?

[KITKAT]

The white spots look like either a disease or a scar. Hard to tell from those photos.

A scar should be smooth and clean on the surface... disease should be rough, scaley (like our own skin when we have an infection, etc.)

Also, if this is a disease process, it may change in shape or size over time.

Might want to have a vet look at it.

But I also have a question relating to the white spots... is this snake a mouse eater?

The position and size of the white spots is suggestive of a mouse bite from feeding live prey...

[Stefan-A]

Water snake, KitKat. :) It's a fish eater and apparently it prefers slightly bigger fish.

Any possibility that it has been rubbing its nose against something rough while it has been in captivity? Or would that look different?

[reganngo]

:Dshe feeds primarily on fishes :) i think thats an scar because she always bumps herself on the aquarium glass because shes always trying to escape

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

cool snake i still say u should get some garters also

[reganngo]

i found garter snakes are facinating but i have omly enough spaces for my pets and garters are too pricy

[reganngo]

the white spot on my snakes face are starting to tear off a bit...what should i do should i ignore it and let him do his own thing because i dont want to hurt her:(

Hi Regan,

You might consider looking for advise at kingsnake.com. They don't specialize in any particular genus of snakes, and they have a variety of forums (fora) for just about any type of snake. They probably know more about your type of snake and might be able to give you better advise. Have a look (Kingsnake.com - Herpforum - Search (http://forums.kingsnake.com/)), and I hope you'll find helpful advise. Of course, you're always welcome here, but realize that our expertise with your snake genus is extremely limited.

Rick

Don't forget Regan, whilst not considered 'dangerous' all members of the Homalopsinae are opistoglyphous (venomous, rear-fanged) snakes.
I have kept the closely related Enhydris in the past. Pretty easy to keep, but more aquatic than our Thamnophis species.

[reganngo]

yeah i searched it in the internet tthat its a raer fanged venomous snake but its venom is very mild to human:D .... sure ill look at the forums now and thank you guys.....but i still love thamnophis.com:cool:
