A friend of mine just bred his tentacled snakes. They're live-bearers. I think he produced 3 neonates in total which dropped at the end of the summer. They are chomping on guppies and are somewhat larger now than the first time I saw them in the fall.

I know he uses alot of blackwater extract in the water, because it is always stained goldy/brown with tannins. I'll try to get some pics and more info on them for you guys next time I'm over at his place....

Oh ya, don't bother inquiring on the availability of his offspring...they are absolutely not for sale, but you can PM me if you want, for additional info

Damnit! Next time you're at your friends place Chris, twist his arm and get me on the phone! lol

Vanan,
Were you able to discern whether the rostral projections are moveable or do they just flop around?

Just curious...

Simon, from what I saw, and I saw them twice at the Aquarium, they just sort of flop around, I mean, they're semi rigid, but not moveable per say.

[Vanan]

I did not notice them being movable. I think they're there to sense a fish brushing by or swimming right in front of their noses, while they stick out motionless from a plant. Awesome ambush strategy for a snake!

Chris, it was no carrot you put out man, but a friggn diamond!! lol
