Erpeton tentaculatus are non-venomous colubrids, they live in freshwater systems in S.E Asia, so no worries about being a hot or saltwater. From the accounts I've read though, I would say that they are more difficult to keep than maintaining a basic marine tank. That thread states that he is keeping them at a pretty high pH for living in backwater systems ion the wild. Lots of tannins=low pH, I've even heard of keeping the water as low as 4.5-5 with good success. Either way, they are awesome looking. I've debated getting one before, but I maintain enough aquatic systems at work that I don't want to have to do it at home too.
