I don't know much about them, aside from the fact that you have to have a permit to get them outside of africa. I guess the best way to get info would be to google them? Sorry if im not much help. I have a limited knowledge of them if you want any basic information.
At the largest they get about 4 feet in length. They have no, or very small teeth. They are not currently avaliable captive bred to any extent, so it is only possible to obtain WC specimens. They are aggressive, and can be very hard to feed if not adults. they usually only eat once a month, and are known to gorge themselves. They will have a 2 day feeding period, so for 2 days after there first mean they will still eat, but not after that period untill after they have deficated. they are usually brownish in color, with minimal markings. Sorry, thats about all i know. Again, you could always google Dasypeltis.
