I was considering getting a pair of Lialis burtoni (New Guinea legless lizard I think is the common name) and was wondering whether anyone had any experience with them; as 99% of the info on them I can dig up is natural history type stuff (that yes, is helpful, but some specific husbandry info would be nice too). Any input here would be nice, particularly in relation to the following questions:
1.) How large should the enclosure be, and should I include matter to climb on?
2.) I know they are lizard specialists, but can they be converted to rodents like many of the lizard-eating snakes?
3.) Has anyone bred them in captivity?

Any insight would be great, although I relish the idea of "experimental" husbandry on an unusual specie
