Hi RohandoCT
I got one as my first hot and I must say they really are amazing snakes. But like Weylin says they are extremely quick, and very at home on a hook stick so be extra careful when handling them. 2 hook sticks are always advisable. Also mine don't seem to drink from a water dish, so you have to mist the enclosure often so they can drink water droplets off the leaves and their body. Just make sure you read up as much info as you can and don't underestimate these little guys, a bite can be serious. And as Weylin says make sure you see them feeding on what ever prey items you have available, you definitely don't want to have to try an force feed. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in Cape Town who might have but best of luck!
