Heard of them, but there are very few breeders working with them that I'm aware of. They are rare in captive collections and therefore expensive, though beautiful little snakes. Similar to Mandarins in care from what I've heard. The red tends to fade somewhat with age in most of the ones I've seen.

They're an amazing little snake -- I got the following pics and info (what little of it there was) off of <a href="http://www.cunninghamselaphe.com">Cunningham's Elaphe</a>, you might try contacting Rick for further information, I've found him quite helpful in the past :)
