    Does anybody know?

    I was at reptile expo two months ago and I came across this:



    I could only take that picture before the guy asked me to not take pictures (in a rude way) so I didn't even bother to ask what snake it was and there was nothing written, no price, no name.

    Does anybody know?
    Thank you

    It looks like a dragon snake, Xenodermus javanicus. Very very difficult to keep in captivity.

    Dragon Snake, I know of a UK breeder that had some a while back, they are gorgeous but as stated previously they do not do well in captivity.

    Why are they difficult to keep?

    They just fail to thrive in captivity.
