Thank you so much for sharing your pics; especially of the babies hatching. At one time I had 1.2 leioheterodon. One successful breeding.

This is a great species--very mellow and inquisitive. My male very gently takes f/t rat fuzzies off of tongs. He kinda' opens his mouth and precisely grabs the nose. He seems to like it if I stabilize the rodent until he has a good grip. My females fed much the same.

I've seen many offered at reptile shows in the past several years. Almost 100% are imports, and I wonder about the impact of collection on wild populations. If they remain legal to keep, perhaps more people will work on establishing cb breeding populations.

rgds,
althea
