>>I am not sure exactly how much help I can be but I an greatly interested in Contia Tenuis with in atleasy area is moreactive during colder, weter weather than most snakes. I have been atempting to gather husbandry information about the species but have not goten much as of yet.

>>My Research and Collection





Hi, Jason. I don't know much about Contia, I've never herped in the NW before, but sounds like it likes cool, moist environs. I think they prefer slugs for food, but not sure on those things. Our slug eaters, brown snakes, are sometimes active in 50 and 60 degree weather, near the surface. My main question though, is about what they are doing below the surface? Are they active or inactive? Thanks for any info.



Terry
