This beautiful green colubrids inhabit forests close to rivers in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay; my animals are originally from Paraguay. The special thing about this snake in addition to the impressive coloring and the "long nose" is the behavior: Argentine long nose snakes are diurnal, they learn the lighting periods in the terrarium pretty fast and retire approximately 30 minutes before "sunset" in a hiding place (preferably cork-tubes). In the morning they like to lie under the heat lamps on a branch.

This species is very active and curious, but never aggressive, on the contrary: My animals always take refuge in the rear corners of the terrarium as soon as I´m working in it. I had very good experiences with keeping the animals in a heavily planted terrarium. The snakes destroy living plants not so much than other reptiles do. Even large bromeliads survive very good. My female lays eggs every year, usually around ten. Usually all the babies hatch. The offsprings are accustomed to food with dwarf mice and usually take dead normal baby mice with the third or fourth feeding and from then eat greedily and grow very fast. No deposition to beginners in the hobby of keeping snakes!
