vine snake info

im not sure that this was the right forum to post on, since the venom is not terribly serious, but i have been thinking of picking up a few ahaetulla, either prasina or nasuta, and have a few questions for those of you that have worked with such species.

1) are their any differences in care between the two species mentioned? i've read caresheets for the prasina but havent found any for the nasuta. i figure they are fairly similar species, but just wanted to be sure.

2) do they need variety in their diet, or can they subsist entirely on anoles? should i worry about possible parasites in wc anoles, and if so, how can i deal with this?

3) what is your feeding method? hold the prey on tongs, place it in the enclosure or feed in seperate container? other? will an anole injure the snake if left alone with it?

any other stories, tips or comments you have for me would be greatly appreciated.

I would just put the anole in with it and let the snake hunt for it, it would be pretty cool seeing a snake like that hunt.


Thanks
