Re: Problems on feeding my sunbeam snake (Xenopeltis unicolor)

From what I can find, burrowing is good, for sure. Don't handle it unless absolutely necessary. Your warm side needs to be roughly 87F with the cool side about 76F. You must have the humidity between 80%-100%. If you have it in a tank, try covering the glass. If it's in a busy part of your home, move it to a quieter, not as busy location. Make sure you provided plenty of hides and some climbing opportunities. Seeing as it is wild caught, it would probably react better to a live prey item... Even in optimum husbandry, they've been known to pass away in captivity...

For the record, I'm only trying to help lessen the chance of it dying... I do not support snatching up exotic animals from the wild for profit(poaching) or impulsively buying a living, breathing creature that relies on you to know how to care for it.
