Breeding rhino rat snake at Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park

The rhino rat snake (Gonyosoma boulengeri) is one of the most unique colubrids on the planet. Adam Radovanovic, Head of Reptiles at Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park was gifted two distinct bloodlines of the species from a few friends several years ago.

“Skeletal problems of breeding are possibly influenced by temperature and haven’t found any since incubating at that lower temperature” says Adam.
