Hello all
I´m thinking about getting a pair of Spalerosophis diadema atriceps and have a few questions.
What about their temperment, docile or defensive?
And do the males or females gets bigger?

Thanks a lot

Jonas

As a general rule, they are notorious for being very defensive, but that's certainly not to say that certain individuals won't or can't make decent captives, especially with an ongoing regimen of gentle handling. There are no "absolute" rules when it comes to animals in my 42 long years of snake keeping.

I don't know if there is a sexual dimorphic tendency for any size difference between the two sexes though.

Good luck!, ~Doug
