Western Shovelnosed snake (Chionactis annulata) care
Hope this helps y’all if you are considering keeping this species. I really enjoy keeping them and hope to provide more into captivity. As always if you have any constructive criticism feel free to drop a comment so I can create better content for y’all.

These are really pretty snakes - I don’t plan on getting one, maybe someday look for them in the wild - so this was interesting and informative for that reason.
Such a cool small snake! Wish I could get ahold of some here in Canada!
Love the video 👏🏻 keep it up!
Do u breed them .?
Just found a baby in my yard.
Me again. Is a diet of crickets dusted with calcium and vitamin D3 adequate, or do I need to vary the diet? Excellent video, BTW.

I provide dusted crickets but I will occasionally throw in a bark scorpion or centipede which they enjoy as well. They also enjoy mealworms and mealworm beetles.

Thanks for the info. I added dubia roaches, and the snakes are doing well. I can find ant lions. Think the snakes would like them?
Also, I have a small water bowl for my (new) captive, but do they stay hydrated only on their food?

I have seen them use a water bowl so I like to keep it in there, I also provide a humid hide which I would assume they could get additional moisture from as well.
What do I do if he doesn’t want to eat? Can I force feed him a pinky ?

They eat insects
Do you cycle the heat up and down, as they are fossorial and nocturnal?
