Hello,
Thought I would post this here, see if anyone has more information on these. I got it at a reptile show Saturday. The seller didn't have any information on it, just thought it was rear fanged. I was pretty sure it was Phylodryas so I took the chance. A post on the "what snake is this?" forum tells me that it's P.mattogrossensis. I usually give them a week to settle in, but gave this one a pinkie in the container I purchased it in. I looked back a few minutes later and the pink was being swallowed.
I'm setting it up like Baron's racers are supposed to be. I'm not big on handling, especially arboreals, I plan to treat it like I do my Trimeseurus. I realize it isn't nearly as toxic, but I think this is less stressful for the snake and helps avoid a "it wasn't supposed to be this hot" scenario.
Would be glad for any advice anyone has on these and to hear from others who keep them.
Thanks,
Andy
