his body didnt look the best my workmate wanted to kill him, lucky for me when i heard him say snake i ran over as quick as i can so he wouldnt!! i released him in some long grass away from the worksite...
does anyone own one or owned this species?? curious as to what they are like to own??

I have kept a few a long time ago, they are easy to keep as long as you can get enough live Skinks to feed them.

I keep/kept F. ornata a pretty similar species. They are mongrel little snakes. I only know of one person who has manged to get any of the Furinas feeding semi independantly.

I'm trying hard to get young ones and see if i have better luck. Not looking good though.
