Hello Venomland , Last week I received my L.stenophrys , They are such amazing animals to observe in real life !!

I have a few concerns ...

In Durban it is summer and at day time temperatures are 28 - 31'c night 26 - 28'c , will this be ok
for them for a short period ?
In the day time I have a fan that blows a breeze to keep the enclosure with fresh moving air..
They are both eating well (how often is it good to offer food items ?)

I cannot find any informations on keeping this animals well , I have placed order for
Ripa's book but it will take some time to arrive..

Does any members have brief husbandry informations to help me with ?

Here are the pictures !!

Many thanks
Andrew

Hi, firstly big congratulation, they are amazing:) How many of them you have?

And I think that I can´t help you because I´m not sure if I can give you correct advice. But I think that the temperature is high but if it will be for the short period there will be no problem I hope.
But try to write D.Ripa I think that he answer on your question (he answered me many times).
and sorry for my english;)

I think we need cooler evening temperatures , the weather for limon on sunday

hello Andrew,

i think the best to breed steno is like that:
hignt temp on day: 26/28
low temp on day: 22

and for the nigt: i think 20 is a good midle for this species......
this snake need some différents Hiding places, also Wet and dry, he wil choose himself...
also you must Pulverized the floor 2 /week.

For the food, feed 1 time all the 15 days.....The digestion is rather slow...

congratulations!!!!

Jean.

Perfect Jean , that information is very helpful especially the feeding frequency, I also received the German Publication by Andreas Hohmeister from a member which I translated via the internet and it is making sense.

Thanks to all.

Andrew

yes, i know Andreas , i have his publication.
you will see aproximately the same thing in.

Jean.

Nice Andrew. I see you have a pair for sale on your site? Are these them and if so are they still avail?


Cheers.
