I'm assuming you're talking about Senticolis triaspis? I have a female that unfortunately was wild caught about 4 or 5 years ago. I am very happy to have her I just wish I owned her for other reasons than somebodys lack of respect for this snake (You're not picking up my fellings towards wild caught snakes here are you:).

This year I bred her with a 3 year old male that was also wild caught. She's about 327grams and I'm guessing 7 years old. She laid 6 eggs with a 100% hatch rate after a normal incubation period of 60 days I belive it was. From what I've heard this is a snake that may not lay eggs for you every year and has a small clutch of 4-6 eggs. With it's small range in the US that's why I'm so against people taking them from the wild. All the info I'm giving you is based on my limited working with western green rats and I'm sure if you were to ask somebody like B.H.B. who breeds them much more you would get a lot more info.

Good luck!!
