Animal Name:	Gumpert
Species:	Elephant Trunk Snake Acrochordus javanicus
Sex:	Male
Death Date:	10/15/2011
Comments:	These guys are some of the coolest guys ever! They're also names File snakes cause they feel just like a file. They are fully aquatic and feed on fish. I got him at the New England reptile expo for my boyfriend. Since there is very few sources of information for these guys I plan on trying to log everything that I do with this guy in hopes that it will help people out. Current set up: 15 gallon tank, pea stone substrate, half fill. Water temp. between 77-86 degrees (thats with night drop). Right now there are 3 grounded plastic plants and one suction cuped to the side. A bamboo tube that floats at the surface. No filter at the moment, just a basic bubbler to airate the water. Starting to base husbandry on www.acrochordus.com Unknown cause of death, most likely stress.

I have a breeder friend who is interested in starting these guys. Been doing some research for him and have found very little information. Keep us updated! Couple quick questions- What kind of temperment do they have? Fast or slow metabolism? Are they freshwater or brackish water? I seem to find information that cites both, and well I would hate to put them in the wrong kind of water.

Very cool - how do you have him set up? I am interested in these but there isn't much info on care.
