QUICKCARE for Porphyraceus (Oreocryptophis porphyraceus coxi, applies to Latacinctus , Pulchra and Vaillanti as well)

Setup- A good soil substrate works great for adults, well moistened. Cypress Mulch also works well. We use paper towels or Cypress for hatchlings. Small, tight hide spots, good sized water dish, separate hide spot with moistened sphagnum moss. Be sure to maintain higher humidity areas, and be sure to have LOWER temp areas to offset your warmer areas.

Daily care- Keep substrate and sphagnum misted, moisture is important. Spot clean as necessary.

Feeding- Feed one appropriately sized mouse once a week. Thawed prey items are typically fine, these are very enthusiastic feeders.

Notes- These snakes are kept in Pro Exotics coolest room, in the coolest spot. They dehydrate in dry setups, which is the most common captive husbandry problem. Aspen bedding is NOT a suitable substrate.
