Elephant trunk snake info

[rudukai13]

Now that I know what it is that I'm interested in (reference: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307014) I'd like to hear from people who have owned these before. Really interested in any and all info on how difficult they are to keep, there behavior, specific experiences, etc. Any and all input is, as always, greatly appreciated!

I've seen that site, looking for more people who have had experience with them.

I'm mostly interested in the claims of difficulty of keeping them alive?

does no one personally have these that can share their PERSONAL experience?

probably not..but i will say that this snake is rare in the hobby. i only seen it once as a juvenile. i should of scooped it up but i didn't realize at the time what it was. only 65 bucks at a rep. show

I didn't expect to get much considering how rare they are, but I figured at least one or two people on this site would have had experience with keeping them...

Russian leg less lizards are cooler and easier to keep...

lol I think they're both incredibly fascinating in their own right. I have no plans to purchase or own anything else for a while (either elephant trunk snake or legless lizard), so for right now all this is is learning about something that I find interesting. Hopefully at some point I can put all of this information towards owning one or the other, or perhaps both.
