Nate,

Long time no talk. Hope things are going well.

As you probably already know, this group of snakes has received some recent discussion on the Indigo forum. Dig through a couple of the Ptyas threads if you have not already. I have not checked over there since last week. Someone had posted specifically on Z. dhumnades.

I'm interested to hear more as well. I have had an interest in this species for a long time. Tempting to pick up a few just for the heck of it.

Things are well Chis thanks!
I found a pic of an adult on a chinese website pretty good looking snakes but look like a handfull. From the little I've found they die or need frogs to strive sounds like something to leave to one of the Bills lol

what Chris said.
n/p

What I can tell you is this most have voluntarily eaten mouse parts but the snakes need a flee response to kick them into gear. Smell means little to them as neonates, if something tries to escape they are on it. They are 100% racer and I know racers. They process food in 12 to 24 hours at 86F and they have the metabolism from He!! And I am half way to switching them to mice and I have only had them less than a week……..Bill If you E-mail me I can give more detail……Bill

My last post should have said you can E-mial me for details.

I'd like to hear about some of the methods or am I not privaledged enough?

It has to do with sharing a technique that PETA would not like. You will be privelaged if you send me an E-mail.

I doubt that I'll be picking up any of these no matter how tempting it is. But if I do I'll send you an email. Please keep us posted here or on the Indigo forum.

They all took a second meal yesterday within an hour of feeding. I have 16 of 22 eating pink mouse parts.

Well according to PETA we should not "own" any animals anyway.....
