I have seen several differnt ssp. throughout the islands. I was curious to know if anyone is working with these. Cuba has some gorgeous species!

They are great little snakes. I do not know of any. I expect they wouldn't be that hard to get to eat. From the ones I saw in the Caymans (5 alone on the path to the beach...wasn't even looking) I seem to remember them eating small geckos and anoles. I also seem to remember they are rearfanged, but with venom that is negligible, much like that of a ringneck snake. I was wondering if anyone else ever thought of keeping them. Andy
