Ok...This is going to require a bit more info. I do not recognise the name (Latin names are much more accurate) but there are a couple of snakes that it could be. Is this snake from the USA, Africa or the Middle East? Can you post a photo? If not, a description (color, pattern & size).
None of the possibilities are very marketable as they are for more advanced keepers and usually draw minimal prices.

To my knowledge nobody has bred them successfully ever. Too bad, because they are great little snakes. There is one fellow who has quite a colony but still no breedings yet. Don't know what the secret is; also don't know how to sex them.
