Hi,

Yeah it was the feeding thing that worried me most about them as a captive species. Have you tried them on any strange scents like the chick/ KFC thing?

I always wondered if they would take eggs and chicks from ground nesting waterbirds in the wild as well as fish and amphibians.

Did you ever try toad scenting?

Where did you find the information saying they could be wild collected? I though all wild animals aside from vermin are automatically protected.

I would love to have some but I can't imagine finding an area with a large enough wild population that could sustain any form of collecting - and, as we agree on, it isn't something that sits well morally.

I remember being so happy when I finally bred more snakes than I had ever bought - I'm just an old hippy I suppose but the idea of being a net gain to the worlds snakes rather than a net drain makes me smile a bit more when I look at them.
