I just acquired a few Namibian house snakes and was wondering how have other keepers had the best luck with these guys. What's the best substrate, temp, humidity and the best way to get babies to start eating. Thanks

I picked up a trio of non-feeding Namibian neonates at Daytona. I got all three to eat baby brown anoles right off the bat. One mysteriously died a few weeks later but the other two (a pair luckily) are doing good and eating anole scented pinks. A friend of mine also purchased a trio and got 2 of the three to take newborn pinks as first meals but I think that is rare for first meals on these little guys. I keep mine like my Aurora house snakes, room temp. (not over 80 degrees F) in shoe box racks on paper towels then aspen when older. I feed them in deli cups. They are cool little bug eyed snakes.
