hi

someone know where I can find some information about Elaphe helena, in special mode about the nature behavior, the reproduction and the snakes habitat ?

I have one of this ratsnake and I need also to know wich species of plants I can find in Sri Lanka, to try build a new naturalistic terrarium for my snake..

thank you !

p.s: sorry if my english is bad, im italian..

I've kept them for several years. I can't help you with the natural plants part. As for husbandry, I keep them warm all year round and keep the pair together. Females will lay multiple clutches of eggs throughout the year, if given enough food. I incubate the eggs at about 82 degrees Fahrenheit, and they take about 70 days to hatch. I've never had trouble getting the babies to eat pink mice.

Hope that helps a bit.
