- Figured I'd give an overdue jansenii update while I give their enclosure a quick spot cleaning. Enjoy!

Nice video; interesting, and from my point of view, accurate as much of the same applies to the much better known sister species, G. oxycephalum. There seem to be very few presentations on this other species of Gonyosoma, which of course, is much less commonly seen in the trade and/or established in captivity. We (I) encountered this species occasionally over the course of two field seasons spanning over 4 months on the island of Buton, Indonesia. Buton is weakly separated by 1-2 kilometer wide channels from SE Sulawesi. Buton still has large areas of forest, and is about the size of Rhode Island, US. G. janseni observed on Buton were predominantly yellow, with black tails and broad streaks of black on most of the rest of the body; very colorful, vivid markings in the adults/sub-adults. The one juvenile snake seen, (turned up in a desk drawer of the village infirmary, scaring the heck out of Dr. Uwe...!) presumed to be young of the year individual, (approx. 50cms length) still retained a large % of green coloration. All were very alert, defensively responsive snakes, "posturing up", while tracking every movement anywhere near them, ready to strike. It was really a privilege to see them. Buton has a rich herpetofauna.
Sounds like a place I need to add to the bucket list!
Thanks for showing in the ether of youtube; a closer look at a pretty obscure sp. Hope they do produce someday.
I think I'm on the right track just need to put more time/effort/focus into them and their cycle
Thanks for showing those Justin
great video! love those
That girl's an Alpha. LOL gotta earn it!! 🔥🌶🐍🌶🔥
You need to make it your life mission to breed these
Its on the "when it happens, I can die happy" list
Yeah bro that’s god tier forsure
Gonysoma are so amazing,my favorites! I really hope more people are successful with them, Ive only heard of one person, daniel snakes, who has pulled it off repeatedly with jansenni. So would you personally put oxycephalum and jansenni as seperate species from the rest of the gonyosoma?
Yes I think these and oxycephalum are the only two TRUE Gonyosoma and the other related species are more Gonyosoma adjacent
@@theherpetoculturenetwork I definitely see why and agree with that. I'd be curious to know if margaritatum display the same unique behaviors of oxy/jan
@@Gavin-hh4dn those are probably the hardest to pin down taxonomically but I wouldn't doubt if they were more closely related true gonyos than the others 🤷♂️
