(''Heterodon nasicus gloydi'', p. 102; ''Heterodon nasicus kennerlyi'', p. 140).

Leioheterodon Geayi
''Leioheterodon geayi'', commonly known as the Madagascan speckled hognose snake, the speckled hognose snake or Geay's hognose snake, is a species of mildly venomous snake in the family Lamprophiidae. The species is native to southwestern Madagascar. Etymology The specific name, ''geayi'', is in honor of French naturalist Martin François Geay (1859-1910) who collected the type specimen.

Care in captivity With the right care, the speckled hognose snake is relatively easy to care for. Because it is mildly venomous, tongs should be used when feeding. The speckled hognose snake should be housed in a vivarium or plastic tub, and should have two hideaways, one on the cool side and one on the warm side. One of the sides should be moist. It should have deep substrate for burrowing and sho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
