Re: Elephant Trunk Snakes/Wart snakes
Elephant trunk snakes are pretty cool little buggers- I've seen them for sale at expos near me quite frequently. They are one of the few snakes that are completely aquatic- their skeletons are too fragile to hold up their organs for long outside of the water, but they are agile, light and graceful under water. From what I understand, they do well in pond-type water, i.e. a tank with lots of plant life and minimal filtration. You still need a filter to remove wastes and bacteria, but they do not thrive when the water is kept as clean as fish like it.

Re: Elephant Trunk Snakes/Wart snakes
Wow. Seriously something i would consider. Sad to see the pics of them out of the water, now knowing they are that fragile. I decided to google a care sheet and came across this one
Acrochordus Pictures and Caresheet on the Care of Acrochordus Filesnakes.
So cute! One of the other pages says they are difficult to care for...but then i saw they were feeding it goldfish : ( that might be one reason for them getting sick in captivity. Might be an interesting project one day though for someone who could put a lot into their care. Hmmm!

Re: Elephant Trunk Snakes/Wart snakes
Oh. My. Gosh. Where? I'm torn between thinking it's horrible to have these in captivity and between wanting a million of them or at least one to make goo-goo faces at all the time.
