I've worked with 8-10 Langaha nasuta (=madagascariensis)over the past 8 years. Most would accept live anoles or house geckos - this species seems to respond to "movement" and will have a difficult time finding prey that remains still. If keeping these snakes in a group situation, try separating them. Also try keeping them isolated from movement outside their cage, as they tend to freeze for lengthy periods of time when disturbed. Females seem to be better feeders in my experience. While Asian vine snakes will accept minnows, I've never tried this item with leaf nosed snakes. Many, if not most, can be switched over to pinks.
