My compliments. Your baby Pseustes and parent snakes are gorgeous. Well done. I have a young set of 1.1 Pseustes poecilonotus.

They are about 9-10 months old and about 18 inches roughly. It is very true that these are challenging snakes to keep. They are also very NIPPY although in some ways that is part of their charm. My snakes are relatively healthy but basically don't eat on their own, I have to semi-assist feed them and focus their attention on the prey item by putting the prey item (mouse) in their mouth and then they gobble it down. I cannot seem to get them to reliably eat any other way.

What kind of conditions did you use to get your parent snakes to breed? Any combination of temp, humidity or brumation?

I would very much like to join the Pseustes keepers group. Where do I find it to join?

Again congratulations, I know how challenging it must have been to get these guys to breed keeping a pair myself, but it would certainly be worth the effort.
