hi everyone,



i know i am always troubling you with identifying the snakes i get here in syria. every time i post a question, i get a definitive answer. it is so impressive.



i got the following wild caught snake which is supposedly venomous. i would appreciate help in terms of feeding and housing requirements, do i need a UV lamp, a heat lamp? would a substrate of newspapers be adequate?



i took these photos using a mobile phone and they may not be very clear.





thanks everyone.

• That looks like a species of Telescopus, probably T. dhara - chrish, Mon Feb 28 12:17:03 2005
