Terrestial snake give it a rocky environment with soil base and lots of humidity. Generally quite docile and is the most common krait species in Malaysia. Try feeding them frogs if they won't eat mice. Put up ur pictures when u get them. IMHO, u should get flaviceps and bivargata if u're into kraits. Much more uncommon and nicer.

They may be docile during the day, but kraits turn the complete opposite at night time. Just something to remember.

I know that they turn around when the dark falls in heheheh..

I know other Krait species are rare but the problem is to get them.. I live in europe and there aren´t any of these snakes here..

Never bet you life on how Kraits will react anytime of the day.
