Acquired some Psammophis punctulatus recently. Perhaps the most colorful and patterned sand racer from Africa which likes anoles and fuzzies. Eggs are incubating as one arrived gravid. Has a unique blue/gray color on the nape of its neck and belly is speckled. This is one of many sand snakes in Africa although described in books to be one of the largest (to 6 feet or more) and the fastest snake in Africa (faster than the black mamba). Also is rear-fanged but has not yet attempted to bite.
