 Mock Vipers

so ive been reading quite a bit on these little guys, and was wondering if any one had experience keeping them?, its near impossible to find care sheets or anything on them, and a little closer to impossible to actually find a CB specimen, so if anyone could tell me what they know about the mock viper i would greatly appreciate it, thanks ahead of time

yea, mock Vipers are from china, indonesia area..Though this is a harmless, back-fanged species, its readiness to bite may result in a painful skin puncture wound from its sharp front teeth.
Family : COLUBRIDAE
Species : Psammodynastes pulverulentus

as for the original question, not sure one a care sheet...i cant’ find one
