They don't do much, but us snake people like pets like that. They live about 12 - 18 months, so not long. They eat blackberry leaves, mostly, or any bramble, oak leaves, and eucalyptus. They are just to fascinating, everything about these guys is cool. They can't fly (well, the females can't fly) and they can't bite or sting. When they move, they do the backwards then forwards motion to look like a leaf blowing in the wind. I love them!
