Added 3 September 2006. Last updated 10 June 2023 with article from RJH 17(2).
This page covers articles on less well-known and rather rarely-kept groups of snakes, some of whose needs would be hard to meet in any case. Of these listed here, probably only the Sunbeam Snake, Xenopeltis unicolor, is kept with any regularity in the terrarium.
Note also that the Blindsnakes (Typhlopidae) have recently (2014) been broken up into further genera. Where this applies, the new name is listed in brackets.
