cool where didi you get that snake? and what type of egg are you feeding it?

[nolagurl]

I love egg eaters. I never realized they are available in the pet trade. I read that they are hard to keep in captivity because it is difficult to find eggs small enough for neonates to consume.

Haha awesome Jordan lol I loved the Crocodile Hunter immitation lol

they are not easy to keep. not at all compared to your typical corn snakes. they go off feeding really easily. but all you have to go is get a dripper and feed it the egg. i got the snake at a reptile expo. they aren't common at all in the pet trade. as soon as i saw them i wanted them. most of the ones that you get in are REALLY under weight.
