Good luck with them. They are one of my favorite snakes that I have. Mine have not bred for me yet and they are 5 years old now so hopefully next year. They are awesome eaters and grow quick. They are very smart snkes.

Are these snakes ridiculously expensive? I heard they are difficult to breed.

[bfirschein]

they are about $200 each for hatchlings

[casienwhey]

did you let the snake go?

[bfirschein]

These are captive bred and would most likely not survive very long where I live. These are native to Malaysia and I live in California. So no, I did not let it go.

i caught one today - pure white except the black spot at the eye, and the tail with the black stripes. Gorgeous. This is in southern Thailand. Will have some photos / videos within a day or two on my channel...

Beautiful snake. I have one as well, but it is 8 months old. How large a cage do you keep yours in?
