It is named for its highly iridescent, glossy scales that reflect light in a rainbow-like sheen. The species is primarily nocturnal and fossorial, spending most of its time hidden under leaf litter or soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1928\" data-start=\"1754\"\u003eSunbeam Snakes are constrictors that feed on small rodents and occasionally other small vertebrates. They are slow-moving on the surface but are highly effective burrowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"2165\" data-start=\"1930\"\u003eIn captivity, they thrive in enclosures with deep, moist substrate for burrowing, stable warmth, and a secure environment. Regular feeding with appropriately sized prey and access to water supports their natural behaviour and health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Unsex","offer_id":52893576528209,"sku":"sunbeam-snake - 001","price":62.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Xenopeltis-unicolor_1.jpg?v=1769297162","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/sunbeam-snake","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
