Anyone got any experience with these guys? The field guide (and my limited experience finding them) seems to indicate they like relatively lower temps than some of the other local colubrids...dietary preferences ranging the gamut from lizards to rodents, favor cover, they dig, preferring a sandy soil...active from 15-30 C (like 60-85 F).
I'm planning on using a tank with 2-3" of a sandy substrate with some cork flats, a temp gradient from room temp to about 85, a small water bowl, and possibly some climbing structures. I've never *seen* one climb in the field but hey.
I'm going to try starting them on live pinks, and if that doesn't work I'll get some skinks or fence lizards for scenting.
