Snail Eater: Dipsas pavonina

pavonina I think but don't hold me to it. Thing sucks the sail right out of the shell before it knows whats happening. Pretty cool.

Come on Dan,

You should know by now that we want more info - where they're from, how you keep them, what exactly you're feeding them (are you catching the snails? Can they be switched to slugs and worms? etc.).

Cheers,
Billy

These specimens came from Surinam and eat snails. I have not tried any other food item or scenting and perhaps will just stick with their natural prey as it's easy to get snails.

Great looking snakes! If those guys will eat european garden snails, I need some bad!
