Hey Davo,
heard that erpeton tentaculatum did really badly in captivity, but some people figured it was the water acidity/quality that was the problem and after that was changed they did well. Just what I heard but haven't read any husbandry guidelines or kept them.....yet Smile

Would really like to though, very cool snakes

i know a guy in the US that keeps them. and some good(ish) info on them from a couple of other keepers. one of their females are gravid at the moment. i think people have a lot of problems with feeding them, as they are crap ambush predators that live off slow moving fish. pH shouldnt be that much of a problem. just mimick their conditions in the wild. nice to here of someone interested Smile
