Never kept them. All I know is that they are lizard eaters. I have no idea how hard they are to keep.

My friend used to keep a pair of langaha nasuta (Madagascar Leaf-nosed snake) 3-4 years ago. Info :

Housing: 40gal. tank with screen top. Substrate- garden soil with life plant and branches.

Temp/humidity:Temp around 25-26C in day time with 12 hrs photo-period 365days. Heating with a spot light and spray twice a day.

Food: anoles twice a week, my friend seldom see them eat with someone nearby, but the anoles gone in a day or two.

Behaviour: I saw the snakes not moving mostly and blend with the environment like a branch; but they move more at night.

Handling: these are rear fanged snakes around 3 ft long and my friend handled them with heavy duty leather gloves. He said they are not too aggressive and bite occassionally.

Reproduction: After one winter, my friend found one dead egg in the substrate but no copulation was ever seen.

Longetivity?: the snake last for around 3 yrs, every time I saw the snakes they looks healthy with no sign of parasites at all ( my friend checked the stool is normal). One day the male died without any reason and then the female died after 2 months.

Comments: the above info is from the only two specimens and the person kept them I know. I never keep these species before and the info is the experience of my friend who kept these snakes for 3 yrs. A very interesting species and I want to keep a pair too, but my friend told me the dealer said is very difficult to get any more of this species. Still miss them!


Hope this may help you Matt, may be someone keep this species can give you some more info. If you need more info, I can ask my friend again.
