Always wanted to get into snakes, these are my first.
Been keeping these for a few months and they have been a lot of fun so far. Female laid 5 eggs(my first)...I messed up the humidity but still managed to hatch 2. I will probably try substrateless incubation and tweaking my methods-both breeders I talked to reported 100% success with their eggs so we'll wait for next time.
They are actually quite easy captives. My female is readily takes market sized quail eggs and is nearly big enough to take chicken eggs.
Got one video of her eating up onto youtube. She pretty much eats out of my hand now...so I bet correctly that she would eat if I placed her on the table with an egg. Quite a difference compared to how shy she used to be!

-happens with newts too :S-), and the eating behaviour is well...it´s just cool xD How they puncture the shell, squeeze the contents down and regurgitate the rest....it´s just clever!
