Now these make rhino rats look like corns ;)

One of the coolest snakes I've ever worked with...

How on earth did you get these???

Apparently they are very tricky to keep and even more tricky to breed, so I wish you all the best to luck.

Do you have a group? Nice stuff!

Interesting snakes.
Personally I don't see above average beauty in them, but certainly a great animal.

Nice snakes.
I can't help but to notice that you're frequently involved with snakes for which import papers most often aren't issued.
How do you manage?

Thanks guys !

@Ranger, just fine thanks. These came from a guy in JHB. How's that an issue ? Where he got them etc has nothing to do with me. If you want to chat you're welcome to call me and ask any Q's you'd like bud. Which other snakes do you have a problem with ?

Cool snake indeed not something any of us will see anytime soon.

Imports from Madagascar are not difficult. I have a permit at the moment for 14 species of reptile from Madagascar. As long as they are not CITES animals its pretty easy. The CITES animals all have quotas so that means you have to get in early. As soon as the season is in full swing in Madagascar I will also have some weird and wonderful reptiles from there.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

How do you keep them. I have been looking at a pair but not sure of I should take the plunge. FYI I do have experience with rare snakes.
