Posted by: ginter at Tue Jun 4 20:24:34 2013 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by ginter ] Bob, there is very little known about this animal in the wild and only a few have ever kept them in captivity. They reside in a populated region of the world and in general snakes are not treated very well by the local population (as is the fate of most snakes). The motto of most Guatemalans is "A seen snake is a dead snake". There is no good data on how well local populations are doing in the face of agriculture and an ever growing number of humans and their automobiles. A young herpetologist, ecologist in Guatemala by the name of Danny Mazariegos has been working with this fascinating subspecies for several years and was the first person ever to captive breed and produce offspring. Danny and his father Rodger are working hard to create education opportunities for tolerance and conservation of wildlife in Guatemala but it is an up hill battle for sure.
