Thank you for this interesting article.
Its not easy to find captive keeping info of these.
Im keeping B. multicinctus youngster, that is feeding 2/3 cornsnakes, and 1/3 thiamise free fish. I have understand that in nature my keeping locality do use quite a lot two/three specific (dont remember them scientific names straight) fish species.
Mine are Chinese, from mountain area and do take quite cold nights. Eating once a week 1/3 size body part snake piece and shedding once a month.
Truly flying snake when it decide to move fast. This should be noted seriously.
My terrarium floor is half mild moist peat and half dry paper. Climate area where i do live, in Finland is different than yours, so we dont have to be much as there, afraid ticks or ants, etc. from nature decorations.
If i do remember right, in Germany?/USA? is breeder who has breed your mentioned species several times??
I try to find out his name/contact and send it to you in private.
Do you know what these might eat in nature, when they are young? This would be really interesting issue to me.
Sorry my clumsy english..
Regards
Toni Beckman

Wow, I guess you learn something every day. Ive never handle beautiful snakes. A few years ago a friend of mine that lives here in the USA, went home to India and asked me if i wanted to go. He live in a tiny also town. more of a village with its own dialic. The people had a problem with a Krait. Problem here wasn't just the snake. It is they couldn't find ANYONE willing to go in and remove the snake. They ended up killing the snake when found out of fear and no to rescue this species. Will this species of snake return to the same place if removed?

Thanks for this article - I enjoyed it.
I've found the red-headed krait on two occasions during daylight hours - though I wouldn't waste my time looking specifically for it then. I've found one at night as well, and most of my buddies that have found them have done so during dark.
It seems that you're speaking generally about all kraits - but there need not be an intense burning at the bite site. Many bites go unnoticed after the initial penetration and envenomation - as in the case of someone sleeping on the floor who is bitten by B. candidus or B. fasciatus who wakes up rather paralyzed and cannot explain why.
Just found these articles, timeless reading! Thanks again - cheers!
