Non-Venomous

Twin-spotted Slug Snake For Sale

Pareas geminatus

The Twin-spotted Slug Snake (Pareas geminatus) takes its name from the paired dorsal spots used to identify it, a small, docile mollusc specialist of cool northern Thai highland forests. Slow and deliberate in movement and entirely harmless, it feeds only on snails and slugs, making it a rewarding project for patient specialist keepers.
