Does someone keep Thamnophis Couchii?
I saw some last year in Yosemite National Park swimming and sunbathing near a river and the water was icecold !
Lovely snakes but i have heve never seen them in captivity.

It's not a species I've heard anyone mention keeping. Quite possibly not available in Europe.

[Thamnophis]

I know Steven Bol (Welcome at Steven Bol Gartersnakes - Steven Bol Garter Snakes (http://stevenbolgartersnakes.com/))in the Netherlands has had them some years ago. He said they were difficult snakes to keep.
