Diced Water Snakes
Is anyone keeping them?
I saw one for sale but have not been able to find much info on them.
Any suggestions or thoughts.
Thanks

I've never heard of a diced water snake. Do you have a scientific name by chance?

I Had 3 of russian dice water snake in a pet store where I'm working. They were very great feeder (gold fish, platy, guppy). They were cute with a very nice orange or yellow belly. When we take them they "hiss". But I never be bit by this snake. Keep them on newspaper or on aspen bedding; they musk very well and like all the water snake, the poops smell very bad.... The latin name is natrix tesselata.
Good luck

p.s. sorry for my poor English, chu Québécois! :P

I've seen N. tesselata only once, at the first Toronto show I attended back in '95 or '96. I don't know who the vendor was, but I do recall that the snakes were just little juveniles.
I find it very interesting that the European colubrids do not seem to enjoy much popularity in Canada.

Found this post with "search"
I saw a specimen in a petstore in Montreal and me and my GF found him pretty cool. We thought it looks like a viper .. Pretty cool looking snake.
I'll look for info on google, but if anybody as info on these guys, please let me know.
