I'm picking up a pair of young adult Mangroves on Tuesday. They have been "treated" internally and have been in captivity for about 8 weeks. I'm no stranger to acclimating wc snakes, I've successfully acclimated many Goynosomas and Emerald Tree Boas.

My question is how hardy are Mangroves? I will treat them again as needed after fecals are done. I have wc Tiger Rats that are basically "bullet-proof" and the Red Tailed Green Rats need constant vigilance for the first year before a success can be somewhat assured. Just trying to gauge how much oversight they're going to need. They have fabulous body weight, no nose rubs, and are feeding well.

Thanks in advance,

Bill
