Striped Keelback
Hey all. Heres a pic of one of my new snakes. Striped keelback (indonesian garter snake 'xenochrophis') anyone work with these species before? i figure they are a fish and amphibian eater by the looks of it.
Take care
Jordan

I used to keep them back in the late 80's early 90's (I had a few different Keelbacks then). They ate fish out of their water dish (usually rosey reds or other feeder minnows) and were extremely docile. Mine never attempted to bite or musk. Eventual cause of death was parasites (wild caught snakes- go figure). Back then we didn't have any info on them and there wasn't a reptile vet in the city to treat for parasites. Neat little snakes, love their belly patterns. Also- I think they are egg layers- so even though they call them garters, they aren't even close.

Yes but with this as clarification-
"Incertae sedis" indicates that the systematic status or composition of these subfamilies are unclear.
It's the egg-laying that makes them un-garter like in my opinion. I read a paper on it a couple of years ago (but couldn't find it on the web yesterday to link for you). I just waded through a bunch of German sites this morning- no dice on the breeding paper.
Good luck with the little snake- fish should do the trick for you. Watch for thiaminase build up when feeding fish to snakes- just like with garters
