Actually the critter is Calliophis bivirgata flaviceps. And it is a snake eater, so Jeff only breeds their food!

It even eats it's own. Are you impressed I got the name right Dad? Rear fanged right? Lethal too correct?

You done good! And yes, it is potentially lethal. But they are not rear fanged, but elapids. And they are pretty good sized.
"Venomous Snakes of Asia" has the size at 1850mm.
