The African mole snake, Pseudaspis cana, is my "holy grail" so to speak, and I'd like to ask for any and all help in locating them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Pseudaspis cana
That's a great "Holy Grail" animal, Ken.
Not sure why we don't see more P. cana coming in with other African imports, guess the locals don't like collecting them, as they harbor a bite similar to Drymarchon spp., though they are more inclined to use it. I have worked with WC P. cana in the past and have never incurred a problem getting them to feed, but they normally arrive very parasite loaded and dehhydrated, the latter leading to renal anomalies. Make sure you hydrate them sufficiently, prior to feeding them and treating for internal parasites, as feeding or medicating a dehydrated specimen will send it directly into end stage renal failure.
Good luck to the both of you and I too might be interested in acquiring one, or a pair, of them...
Best regards,
Jeff
