I got a pair of Western Montpellier snakes (Malpolon monspessulanus) German CB from June 2017 last week. They are tiny little snakes but can already hiss with the best of them…
They are unrelated and their ancestors came from Southern France.
They are curious and active, but also still shy. Both ate a baby mouse after two days, so they seem to do OK so far. The male is already in his temporary enclosure where he will stay for the foreseeable future, the female is still in a fauna box, her new enclosure will be ready for her during the weekend.
I already keep a male Eastern Montpellier snake (Malpolon insignitus fuscus) from the Balkans, I was searching for a matching female when I found the ad for my new snakes.
