Oxybelis

Does anybody out there have any of these in their collections? I have some questions such as

1) Do you have long term female only groups and do myou or have you ever had ovarian issues?

2) Hydration: How are people maintaining their animals? Are they kept in vivaria with mist systems, dry, drips, water bowls, do the animals drink from water bowls, etc?

3) Does anyone have long term medical issues such as cataracts, mineralization of the caudal area, colitis?

4) Diet

5) And finally, does anyone have a good reference for these animals?

Peter,

You might contact the staff at the Denver Zoo. A friend of mine is a keeper there and I'm sure they've had a group for a while now or at least have a history with them.

Good luck.
