Have u tried looking for a care sheet?
snakesNT have one on their site :wink:

One of the shops near here have one in a 4 x 2 x 2 tank, no land. They have had it for at least 18 months. They normally have 3 uncolored peacock cichlids in with it at all times.

couldn't find where these care sheets are...got a link? thanks fuscus that helps.

can they be kept together? males etc?

haha, DAH!!! i just found it, its in HUGE BOLD WRITING.

Same questions only for the The Bockadam (Cerberus rynchops) please.

Bockadam info has been asked about recently in the Australianherps yahoo board. Try sifting through the archives there.

They are fairly easy to keep as long as the water quality is kept very clean. i.e. constantly filtered, preferrably with something like 10% water changes fortnightly (depending on the tank size and number of snakes). They don't need any land as they never come on land. For fish, you can feed them feeder fish (uncoloured goldfish) which you can buy at your local pet shop.
