The elegant snail-eater is non-venomous and very docile. They prefer moist surroundings during the daytime, such as under leaves or in rotting logs and come out to forage at night. They lay an average of seven eggs per clutch. The current, moist habitat in which these snakes thrive is becoming smaller due to human encroachment and destruction, which may lead to their extinction.
