Comment on Carphophis by michael-ray

I figured it was a secretive snake that remained buried under the ground or hiding all the time, but that doesn't bother me too much as I'd like to have 1 snake in my collection like that. Sand Boas and milk snakes are like that, but I can understand the size and special diet being a problem in captivity. However, I've heard of some crazy specialized reptiles being kept by people who are experience and care enough to actually make sure the animal gets what it needs. I wouldn't attempt such a thing right now, but in a few years when I'm more experienced I may be willing to after tons of research. Herpetology is actually the field I'm trying to get into professionally with my Biology degree.
I did look into sunbeam snakes but all the care instructions I looked at for them says they should be handled as infrequently as possible as it stresses them easily. I love their iridescence but from what I read they didn't seem like a good pet. For the rainbow iridescence look I love on snakes I'm going to probably get a Brazilian rainbow boa.
thanks
