The pics are very classy man.
Do you have trouble finding food in Malawi. How much can it eat?
If I'm gonna be an old, lonely man, I'm gonna need a thing, you know, a hook, like that guy on the subway who eats his own face. So I figure I'll be Crazy Man with a Snake, y'know. Crazy Snake Man. And I'll get more snakes, call them my babies, kids won't walk past my place, they will run. "Run away from Crazy Snake Man, " they'll shout!”

Very nice, these snakes are indeed harmless so should be in the Non Venomous Topic just in case anyone else was confused.

I moved the topic to Indigenous fangless which would be correct even if they have toxic saliva. Its really not a problem.

Very nice snake. You say you have her from one day old. Did you hatch her? What happened to the others in the clutch?

What a cute little snake, love the slender body with the green and big eyes. Looks like a very curious snake.
Beautiful would love to have one.

thanx, bushviper, to be honest, I dont know what happened to the others, When I found the guy selling them, she was the one with the biggest eyes and the bravest, so I bought her her (she was about 6000 kwacha(200 rand)) I tried to keep in touch with the guy, but he never responded to anything. :-?

while shez still small, im keeping her in this 50 litre plastic clear container(I know it sounds cruddy, but its actualy quite good) with a custom made lid

I keep the temps around 30-32 degrees centigrade, and have a 60 watt bulb shining over to simulate the sun.
