Hi,
I keep terrificus. I find mine to be a very easy snake to get along with. Very calm, but with a mild feeding response. He's also an aggresive feeder, but handles, hook and tail easily.
He gets little, special care. I treat him as I would any tropical and his feeding schedual is much the same as for all my crotes. 10 days to a couple of weeks.
I like this snake and will be looking for a female this year.
I've got to inject a word of caution: DO NOT get bitten by terrificus. Wolfgang described the effects as only a couple of small, puncture wounds. Little swelling, pain or discoloration, almost as if nothing happened. Meanwhile, the venom is tearing up your nervious system. 'Nacho' drops medium rats almost dead in their tracks, every time. "Terrified of terrificus!"
That aside, it's a really nice snake. I'm sorry, but I don't of any sites dedicated to them nor any of the durissus complex.
luck,
f
