The litrature on chironius and some of the other South American whipsnakes states that like lizards theit tails will detatch! I found that hard to beleive but if you pay close attention to pictures in books and on line you will notice stubby tails. I do not think they regenerate. Do you breed these. I work with Pseustes, Parrot Snakes and the like.
