They are tough to keep healthy.

Best of luck, I'd love to see them flourish in your care.

I'm afraid the shadow from the flash has completely covered them... they are darn near invisible though, even without.... So far I only see them when they want me to.

These are interesting snakes. Do you feed them pinky mice? I remember field herping in the scrub habitat of Florida and coming across one of these. It regurgitated a good sized spider!

[infernalis]

This species of snake is an insectivore, they will not eat pinkies, nor could a pinkie ever fit in it's mouth.

We have Smooth Green snakes in NY.. they roam free in my back yard.

But you have the world famous "Snake Road" in Illinois brother.. Why would you ever want to move further away from that??

I had never heard of it. Might have to take a road trip.

[presspirate]

Yeah, that looks like a good time!

This is why they seldom stay healthy in captivity.

Most people feed crickets exclusively, there is a nutrient present in the spiders they eat that is essential for good health.

quick update, put in a dozen 3wk crickets today, and saw each snake eat... 30 minutes later I could see one cricket.

ive been there, my trip i saw 3 copperheads, and timber for venemous, couldn't find a cottonmouth though i was sad...

its an amazing place wayne, i recommend anyone with a love of herp's to go at least once

[Michael Roth]

Been so far so good, they appear comfortable and confident... no spiders in their diet yet, as they are a little out of season here :P, but here is a shot of how eagerly they chase their dusted crickets:

Sorry for the shot quality. Water stains= pain for flighty snakes :>

[presspirate]

Cool shot! I hope you can get some feeding footage of these guys.:yes:

Here's the pic I mentioned earlier, taken in Florida scrub habitat circa 1992:

We caught one in our yard two summers ago, we kept him for a while...maybe 2 months. He ate small grasshoppers, crickets and spiders without any problems. He was a pretty neat snake, I should have kept him.
