Sorry I have been out of town doing work. The Pseustes sulphurus in Jason's photo is from Peru and he hopes to get some cb from there eventually. He does not have them yet (unfortunately).

I keep some cribos, as well as many Latin American colubrid and boid species.

THe "attack" method Jason mentioned can be great. You bump their body and it upsets them a bit where they wind up and aim toward you with their mouth open. They naturally strike away from the rodents usually, but if you are quick with your tongs and get it in their mouth and stay still, most will eat. They do tend to throw it to the side or behind them and dart out of the cage sometimes so you might need to take a few shots at it. Sometimes they stay still long enough with their mouth open you can almost place a rodent in (or where they take a very short strike you can't miss getting it in there). These times are the easiest because they don't have a lot of commitment to the strike and get away tactic yet. They certainly are snkes you need to read to work with sometimes.

I would love to see pictures of your babies as they grow.
