Very handsome indeed Cool

Is that an Elapid of some kind, I don't recognize it?

Its a mildly venomous Colubrid, averages a length of about 42cm or summat daft. Apparently feeds on pygmy chameleons Smile Can't find much info though. Smile

Very nice snake indeed, Madagascar has some nice stuff. Wouldn't class it as a hot though, more of a luke warm/tepid Smile Is it covered by DWA? Can't imagine it is but have no idea.

To be completely honest, I have only researched True -Vipers and Pit-Vipers.

About Rear-fanged Colubrids and Elapids I have not a clue!

The colubrid snakes of Madagascar comprise 18 genera (GLAW & VENCES 1994, CADLE
1999). Among the most peculiar and less known of these is the genus Stenophis.
Together with Langaha, these nocturnal species are among the most arborealspecialized
snakes in Madagascar. They are conspicuous in being elongated, often
very thin, and usually have large eyes with slit-like vertical pupils (prolate pupils
sensu CADLE 1996b).

As to how venomous they are I can only speculate, everything I look at just says that there is insufficient data available. Hmmmm, maybe they have not been kept privately yet.

According to data on fauna exports for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003 (MEF, 2001; 2002;
2003), four live Lycodryas citrinus individuals were exported to the United States of America in
2001; 15 were exported to Switzerland in 2002; and there were no exports in 2003.

They are about, but the Malagasy specialists seem to be pretty secretive, especially WC stuff and I imagine they are a bugger to feed. Would be fun trying though.

You'd have to keep a load of baby brevicaudatus chams on the go i expect. Poor little buggers. Smile Still it'd be worth having that snake in your collection huh?! Wink

Hopefully they would eat frogs too, they have a very restricted range though which suggests there may be issues keeping and feeding them.

......fitting perfectly into a niche in their natural habitat. Probably failing to thrive under captive conditions I suspect from lack of a wild diet. Also, as you say, if they have a very limited range it suggests that there may be other factors not taken into consideration when trying to keep them successfully. Hmmmm, did I just repeat what you said? Embarassed
