: Who keeps this species?
: I've only seen a pair of these snakes in person but I've read that they are really skittish, may be arboreal and lay eggs late in the year like subocs.
: What's the story?
I have been able to work with four of these wonderfully illusive animals, all of which are wild caught. I found two this year and have only got one of them to eat. They are a difficult animal to find and are hard to keep in captivity, due to their inclination towards stress including parasites. They are hard to breed and have a low fertility rate if you can get them to breed.
