AESCULAPIAN SNAKES

(ELAPHE LONGISSIMA)

 

STATUS: JUVENILE PAIR

 

AVAILABILITY: 2024

 

ADULT SIZE: 6 FEET

 

Another European species added to our collection last year. European species of colubrids as well as lizards and amphibians are a really up and coming section of our hobby, and rightly so! 

 

This species has the most gentle looking of snake faces and a disposition to match; lovely throughout. 

A long slender snake that loves to climb and should be able to do so: a great display species for a naturalistic enclosure.

A species with a long history with humans.

 

KEY CARE FACTS:

Best in a natural looking set up to show off this snake.

Will thrive in a well designed out-door enclosure here in the UK , all year round.

Moderate temperatures-not too hot.

Feed well on rodent and chick diet.
