Hey looking for a bit of info from the informed, that would be you guys on the ground in Africa. Local importer that I have bought from in the past just got some Lamprohpis Lineatus in the past now has some Striped Skaapstekers available for about 150 US a pair.
I have been working with a lot of African Colubrids of lesser known status here in the US, House Snakes, Beaked, Diadem, etc. I would like to add some new interesting breeding projects and I happen to really like these snakes having handled a few before including both the stripes and rhombics.
There is very little information, the importer says he has both eating PK mice no trouble but they are both in the 18 inch range. The issue I have is from my reading and research it appears babies are tiny and often to small for new born pink mice.
Can anyone confirm this? I don't have a supply of tiny lizards to get these guys off the ground with. Anyone breed them with any success? What did you get them feeding on? I am wondering if indeed they are too small for mice if minnows would be an option? Those I can acquire by the thousands,
