Hi all

My first posting on this forum as I've just found a Lycodonomorphus rufulus in my Koi pond, and have hopes of keeping it in a tank. I cannot get it to feed, however, having tried to leave small fish in a bowl in his tank, but these die in a matter of hours.

I've tried a pinkie mouse, but that was considered and then ignored by the snake.

We are coming up to Winter here in South Africa, so it might be about to hibernate, but I would appreciate any feeding - or other - suggestions!

Also, what temps are correct for this species? He seems to stay away from the heating pad and curl up under some driftwood which I have added.

Cheers!
