Savus are generally aggressive as babies. They grow out of it when they reach adulthood, but with plenty of handling you can calm the baby down.

They max out around 4 feet and make excellent captives for those with space restraints. My Savus were kept in blanket boxes on newspaper subtrate with a good sized water bowl.

They like to burrow and they like to swim.

One thing I should mention... they are incredibly strong! Even though they are small, it is still a good idea to have a second person around when handling an adult. They will get both of your hands into *handcuffs* and cover their tail with their body. Almost impossible to get them off without help, lol. My adult female had gotten herself between my fingers and around my wrist one day. She tightened down so hard she bent my pinky finger back and almost broke it. Thank goodness Morti was there to help me get her off! So keep that in mind, too.

They really are fun snakes to keep.
