Keeping and selling- Mud Snakes
August 11, 2012
So, my new goal in snakekeeping is to keep a Mud Snake (farancia abacura). Either subspecies, Eastern (Farancia abacura abacura) or Western (farancia abacura reinwardtii), would be just amazingly acceptable =]. I've been doing some reading and research on their care, behavior, husbandry in captivity, feeding, and anything needed to help one flourish (hopefully). Where as realistically, I'd need to get a tank set up first, and talk to some more people about some general info needed to have one flourish (hopefully). I'd really love to keep one.
I'm still going to keep doing my research while I wait anxiously for someone to respond on this amazing species. If you have kept them, what was the setup you personally used successfully to house them? What did/do you have the best luck feeding them (sirens obviously, but otherwise)?
