Hi Scott,



Collecting the snakes is not a red tape issue (there are no restrictions in Fiji, just on export), just a logistical and ethical one.



So far the wild caught snakes we have were rescues found when Fijians were clearing forest and would otherwise have killed them. I feel a bit squeamish about asking them to collect snakes that are presumably perfectly happy in their natural environment so that I can put them in tanks....



And the other has been just misfortune in always having the wrong sex at the wrong time. Initially we had all females and couldn't find males. Now we have males finally old enough to mate and most of our available females have died...



Thanks for the enclosure enclosure pics, I'll look them over for tips for what we can do here.



Cheers,

Helen
