Hey Jakob,

They used to be occasionally available back in the mid to late 80's in the USA. Back then I bought a pair from a pet store, and they did well for a year or so. Right when I thought I'd have a chance to attempt to breed them the female up and died. They ate live fuzzy mice without any problem, although I also fed them feeder goldfish. Due to their metabolism they needed to eat more frequently than say a corn snake or kingsnake though.

Since the 80's I haven't seen one available in any pet stores (which isn't where I buy snakes from nowadays). I remember in about 2003 or so there were some of the green colored ones for sale here on kingsnake. You'd think someone would've succeeded with them by now.

Good luck!
Chris
