Its digestion is very fast. In captive tests at 4 to 7 °C, a meal of fuzzy rat was digested in only 3 days.1
Remains of this snake have been found in the droppings of a beech marten, although little is known about its natural enemies.1
Newborns feed on the yolk left inside them for their first two weeks, and they grow without eating before their first shed.1
It is active during the day and moves into rocky deposits to keep its body at about 26 to 28 °C.1
