E.logissima is a beautiful snake! And agressive! They need hibernation to breed, about 3 months in 6-8 degrees celsius.
The wildcought animals are difficult to startup in captivity. They often have parasites, both on the inside(belly)and on the skin. And they donīt eat very well. Forcefeeding is often needed..
Hard to explain things in a foreign language.. Did this help at all??
I hope so..

Thanks for the info. My snake is a wild caught animal. It`s a 4 ft male. It`s realy gentle, doesn`t show any signs of agresion. I`m starving it a couple months and them I`ll feed it with mice. Apreciate the help, Alex S.
