If I was able to keep hots, I'd definitely be looking into these I just can't get over how tiny the babies are! I bet they're amazing to watch feeding. What are/were you feeding them at that size?!
How big will they get? As many pictures as I've seen and whatnot they can be misleading representations of size and I don't think I've ever seen one captive... _________________ http://www.iherp.com/tea

Tea,
They are about 140mm in length at present and I've had them for 6 weeks.
Initially they were only taking pinkie heads (nasty mess) assist fed.
Now they are taking full pinkies and are strike feeding. A full pinkie is a struggle but they manage.
I'll try and get some images of them feeding this weekedn when I am home.
I think they will be coming up to a slough soon.

Oh my goodness, they're tiny!!
Pinkie heads... lovely... Still, if that's all they can manage! What would they be eating in the wild, do you know?!
Looking forward to more pics _________________ http://www.iherp.com/tea

i believe in the wild they eat small lizards and frogs. i plan to get a DWA license in the future, and these are on my list but rhino vipers, and gila monsters are above them lol _________________ Tom

None are easy to get a hold of.
Eyelash are resonably priced, Rhinos hard to get as CB and I believe Wild caught are prome to die! and Gila's are very costly!!!
