I have a new friend...a False Water Cobra.
Picked him up this morning, from someone up in Washington D.C., for a "few bills". He is very well mannered, and much to my chagrin, eating live versus f/t. This makes three that eat live: my Dumeril's, my Anthill (male), and now this one. I've got my work cut out for me to get them all on f/t!
Here are a few pics. There appears to be a dark area in the front of the mouth, something like either substrate or maybe the remnants of its last meal; or, it may be just some scale pigmentation that give him a little character. I'll be keeping an eye on it...
