@Fooble im not sure at the exact size of these little guys. Id guess about 200mm TL.
They are super difficult to manage for photos and the like, guilty of that stereotypical defensive display you see in most of our local fossorial species like Lycophidion, Atractaspis and Gonionotophis /Mehelya.
Flattening there entire bodies and flicking in and out of closed loops constantly hiding their heads. Then every so often thrashing out wildly with a bite.
E.boulengeri are different to the other Elapsoidea species I keep, being short squat animals, more aggressive and by far the best feeders as juveniles. only inhibited by their size but soon as they are big enough they will take pinks greedily.
