Care: Dragon snakes require a cool, humid environment with temperatures between 72–78°F and humidity levels of 80–100%. They thrive in naturalistic enclosures with deep leaf litter, moss, shallow water areas, and plenty of hiding spots. Due to their specialized requirements, they are best suited for experienced keepers.

Facts:
• Dragon snakes get their name from their unique keeled scales, giving them a dragon-like appearance unlike any other snake species.
• They are native to Southeast Asia, where they inhabit marshes, swamps, and slow-moving streams.
• This species is primarily nocturnal and spends much of its time hidden beneath leaf litter or in shallow water.
