I ran into the same problem that you did about three years ago. The truth is that is is hard to get information on these snakes, but I will give you what I have.

Asian vine snakes like large heavily planted habitats. I keep mine at bout 95 durring the day and let it drop to 86 at night. The trick here is humidity, the tank should be maintained at 80% to 90% humidity. They usualy only eat lizards anoles and house geckos provide a stable diet. However mine took a pinky yesterday, but I not sure if that is healthy (hence my above thread)

The word on the venom is shakey. Their saliva causes paralisis in it's prey. Mine has bit me a few times without a problem, (their enlarged teeth are in the back of the mouth so they usualy dont invenomate on a defencive bite. The one time he did get be with the enlarged teeth I felt a numbing feeling in the hand that he bit me, but It went away in a few hours.

However I have heard stories of people having bad reactions to it. There was even one related death due to anaphalaxis (the same reaction a person who was alergic to bees would get if they were stung)

I'm not sure how much they cost, as I was given mine, so I was wondering if you had any Ideas.
