I am curious as to if anyone currently keeps this species, and or has kept them in the past? If so what have your expieriences been with the species? How did you approach the feeding process (if wild captured),ex: various lizards,scented pinks,brained pinks,etc...
No particular reason, just a critter you dont hear to much about.
thanks
Bryan Hudson

Bryan, when you say M. euryxanthus, are you talking about Masticophis l. euryxanthus, which is the Alemeda Striped Racer, or are you talking about Micruroides euryxanthus, which is the Western Coral Snake?

If you are talking about the racer, it will probably be a voracious feeder, like most other Coachwhip Snakes. I have not kept these snakes, but they should eat lizards and small mice without any problem.
As far as the Coral Snake, it will be a lizard and snake eater.

John, thanks for catching my mistake. I completely forgot about that species of racer when I abbreviated. I was infact refering to the Micruroides (Arizona coral to fix any further confusion). It is an interesting snake and one of the "lesser known" when it comes to the corals(excluding central and south american species of course). I am interested in acquiring more knowledge on the species through other peoples experience with the species. Has anyone here done much herping for them and been successful?
thanks again
Bryan Hudson

Bryan, if you search experts here under Arizona Coral Snake, you will find a couple of post by Snakeman1982 who has collected them on an Arizona trip. I believe he said they were out and about in late summer when the area was getting some rains.
Someone else was finding them while doing missionary work digging building foundations, but I cannot seem to find the old post.
Would probably be a fun snake to keep, but you would have to catch a bunch of Sonora or geckos to keep it fed.
Best Regards JohnZ
