Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I dont know where else to put this thread.... so here is my new and much loved Pseudaspis Cana. With out further delay here are some pics.. If any one has a good care sheet or any useful hints on keeping and breeding these guys let me know!

Female first then male:

So far this is what I've gathered Through some very through Investigation..

Temp: 87-78 Day temps, 78-75 Night drop.

Brumation: 50F for 4 weeks

Prey: Quail, ASF, Rats, Mice, Preferably f/t

Substrate News paper or Aspen both with lots of tight hides and enough substrate to burrow.

Breeding: After Visiable copulation it normally takes 72 days to give live birth.

Avg. clutch size on an adult female is 25 - 40. Record is 95!

Offer Hatchlings live unscented mouse pinks, If they refuse, offer lizard scented pinks.

Notes: If snake refuses to eat try a live rat fuzzy... they should gobble them right up.
They are shy snakes and should have drapes over there cages to prevent scaring them out of feed.

Wow I like his looks. So is the common name of this snake African Mole Snake? Where did you get it? Just curious, why the pit forums? Thanks

Here is a pdf with some info and a pic of a very large one.

Yes that is the common name. I got it from Freight Freitas, And I didnt know where else to put them..... lol I also have southern pines and they act look and are similar in size so i guess i put them with them because they have a bunch in common.... Africa's pine/indigo...

Well, maybe it's the "African Pine Snake".
