Has anyone tried to keep these little gems? What a beautiful creature. I was just looking through some photos of them and find them tiny, but just beautiful. Probably hard to keep?

I had a friend that kept them in sand and fed them crickets. He said they were easy.

That's what I hear too....
I wonder how hard it is to get them to reproduce?

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

I don't know, but their babies are freakin tiny! Here's one I found a couple of years ago.

That is true, but I mentioned that because tiny snakes are just not my thing. I do like to find them though. Usually when you drive up on them, they are hauling ass to cross the road. I hit my first ever. I was going to fast to swerve. It was so nice looking to. Here it is.

If i were breeding them, I would do test breeding to see if the black-and-white ones are actually anerythristic recessives. It's entirely possible for a morph like that to be at a stage in the wild where both are found. Of course, maybe someone's already done those test breedings...

I'm not sure if anyone has, but I agree its very possible. I've often wondered about that my self.

It was the first one I had found in a long time. This was on Pioneertown Rd. the famous Rosy Boa locale.
