I wonder what the husbandry is like? Do you need an aquarium?

i couldn't agree more i want one so bad and i have been looking for them for a while, i am a aquarist along with a herpetoculturist so both of best worlds :p they are rear fanged very docile but shouldn't be held and they give live birth

they are only found wild caught :/ but they are awesome and are said to be pretty easy to care for

They have them at the aquarium near me. Pretty cool little buggers! They have them all set up in a huge display of about 20 of them.
