HI all,

I would have thought that Coral Snakes with their colour would have been a popular snake to keep.

Are there any reasons why they are not kept in captivity.

If it were because of attitude, no one would keep mambas either.

The main reason is diet and husbandry. They are very difficult snakes to keep happy
