Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am looking for information on the reproduction, natural history, taxonomy, venom composition and any other info pertaining to Azemiops feae. Thanks.

If you look on Allen Hunter's site, he has a little tidbit about them and his experiences. As far as I know, they are very difficult to maintain and very few people have bred them. I am sure Wolfgang or BGF will definately answer this one.
