Have a good friend who has an old (really old!) E. quatourlineata but thats the only person I've heard of recently that's keeping them in the UK! I think they're a nice species, need quite extensive Winter cooling from what I remember?

Stroud: The E. quatuorlineata that lives on the mainland grows quite big (upto 2meters+).. The islandform that I keep is only about a little more than half of the mainland forms size (110-130cm´s..). The wintercooling is about 3 months in temp about 6-8 degrees C.

Peaches: Yup.. Laughing

Not really.. I know that one person in Denmark has kept them before, but I don´t know if he is still keeping them. And one person in Germany.. And me.. Laughing

The snake is easy to keep, and a "kind" species. The rarley bite, even if you catch it in the wild.

The good thing about the E. q. muenteri, is that it does not grow so big (110-130 cm´s) compared to E. q. quatuorlineata.. (200+ cm´s..)

The one my friend has is E.q.quatourlineata and definately does bite!! It's a fair size as well, pushing 5 foot roughly? Great feeder though Cool

Best of luck with them! Make sure you post if you have any breeding success Cool
