Just got a pair of Keeled Slug Eating Snakes (
Pareas carinatus)! I don't know the sexes, and I don't know how to sex them without hurting them.
These little guys are my biggest dream come true!
I've never been able to get my hands on any of them until now.
They are so cool!
One of them even fed as soon as I put it in the tank!
The eyes are truly a bronze or copper coloration, there is no Photoshop involved.
Check out the beautiful pattern, especially on the head!
These snakes don't get very large and they stay very thin. The widest part of the snake is only 2 finger widths (if that at all) wide.
They also come as close to looking like vipers without the aspect of being extremely dangerous to handle.
This species of snake is not quick to strike. You'd have to seriously mishandle them for them to even consider tagging you.
Enjoy.
