🐍Dog-toothed cat snake (Boiga cynodon) Max. size 280 cm (9'2"). Females grow larger than males Found in southern Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. Considered Least Concern by the IUCN. 📷by kuritafsheen77 on Freepik

A light brown snake is looking slightly to the left of the camera. The snake has its mouth slightly open. It has both medium and dark brown markings along its body. The head and the front part of the body is held in an S-shape showing it is in a defensive position. The neck is somewhat laterally compressed which it does for the same reason that a cobra shows its hood - to appear larger when faced with a potential threat.

NARBC was a success, sold everything I had with me AND I got my dream gecko!! Extremely happy with the day.

a leachieanous gecko in a clear deli cup labeled "Pair Y, 8/20/24". the gecko is a light pastel green, with light pink bars down the back and mottled darker green spots between the bars and scattered throughout the body.

the same gecko being held in a hand, now far more fired up. the pink bars are more saturated, and the rest of the body is streaked with dark green on a lighter green background. a food scale and contents of a plastic shoebox (lined with paper towel with a piece of cork bark, square water dish, and feeding cup) can be seen in the background.
