Jones County Longnose collected this year. So far a sporadic feeder on rodents (seems to prefer ASF over mice or rats), will eat any lizard i throw in with him.

Wow that is a beautiful snake. Are they difficult to breed in captivity? -- because with those colors I'm surprised I don't see them more often at reptile shows, I only ever hear of people collecting them in their locality.

There have been quiet a few successful breedings. The downside is the size of the babies. Most that I've heard of have to be started on mouse tails because they are not big enough to take pinkies. I do have a source of tiny hatchling Mediterranean geckos that I will be using if/when I find a female for him and get some eggs to hatch.

Chris, The hatchlings are big enough to take newborn pinkie mice, but mine needed to be lizard scented. Don't let the size of their heads fool you. Please see my earlier posts below with pics of my first generation CB. Here is a link to a short video of two of y hatchlings taking their first f/t pinkies http://youtu.be/jjLFJNzC2UQ
