Re: Oh to be able to hold a sunbeam
Xenopeltis are so cool. Years and years ago I had a buddy who had one and it was just so awesome to see and handle. I'm glad to see they're starting to pop-up more often these days

Wow those are incredible! I've never seen those before. That's some very nice iridescence!

Re: Oh to be able to hold a sunbeam
After doing a small bit of research on these, it seems they're kinda hard to keep in captivity due to stressing easily and improper husbandry and almost impossible to breed in captivity. Is this somewhat old info or pretty up to date?
They're certainly very pretty and unusual animal, but how easy/hard are they to truly maintain?
