almost exclusively WC species, very very shy, very hiigh humidity requirements. It's one of those species you'll never see if they are happy.

Expect to pay £75-£200 per snake depending on source.

They are so pretty, iv seen pics before, never seen one for sale in the uk though, they will spend most of their time burrowed away, and i have heard they are very fussy and dont do so well in captivity, but thats just what iv heard. If anyone gets one of these, lots of reaserch should be done.

Heres a picture of a sunbeam we caught in Kanchanaburi Province in Thailand last year, the animal was almost totally buried under some leaf litter, suprisingly right next to a road.



Cotswold Wildlife Park had several of these that fed well of mice, i believe they successfully bred them a couple of times.

heres a pair of mine







iv recently moved them to bigger setups, thier substrate is 2-3 inches of wet sphagnum moss, this kept constantly damp/wet, two small clay saucers in each tub to add weight and a little bowl, 12/12 light period, i keep mine very warm, around 93of, just now thier on large fuzzies every 6 days, one the male and 2 for the female who is twice the males size but identical in age, this is quite common in xeno's
i recently picked up the male fprgetting id just fed him and he regurged his half digested fuzzy and musked everywhere tail whipping, if i were a predator id never tamper with a xeno again . neonate xeno's are flighty but adults are cool, very like the tricolor milks in that respect.
