Babies can be difficult unless you have access to finch or other very small bird eggs (or are willing to tube feed) ... and nearly all the animals available are WC to begin with, especially the adults.

easy to keep, but finding appropriatly sized eggs is a pain, as ssithisto rightly said.

I know of one captive breeder, in kent and another in colchester. They are the only two i have found. Both rely on finches, then budgies to provide eggs.

After this they can be fed on supermarket quails eggs and eventually hens eggs.

Lovely snakes, a little nervous, but never really bite, and if they were to they have no teeth!

yeah as the others have said, nightmare involved in getting small eggs and lack of breeders have kept numbers down, the only other source is larger wc(as also been said) and that also keeps numbers down, with certain shops/suppliers not touching wild caught

so i haven't really added anything more than anyone else

exotic pets have them but never seem to have them in stock, they mention that you can buy the eggs from tesco!
