I got a pair of these dropped off today (Thanks Ditta/Kat!). Got a couple shots before letting them settle. Very, very small as you can see.

They do look a wee bit like small grass snakes. It's the neck band
They shouldn't grow more than 25inches, Lynne So teeny. |

Very simple set up Lynne: Cricket tub, tissue sub, wee shallow waterbowl. Fed constantly on micro maggots. Kept cool as snakes go. 28'C warm end.
They are actually very common in the US but not as pets. I believe their is some sort of law, or restiction in keeping them. I'm pretty sure they cannot be imported easily.
I've been looking for some, for quite a while (around 5 years) and these are the first CB I found! |

No way to be positive of sex actually. Which is a pity. They've been provisionally sexed. To be fair I'm not fussed what they turn out as. I just wanted some to keep A bit different from the Rough Greens. But still insectivorous. |
