Water snakes?

[RedSidedSPR]

Do any of you have any experience in keeping water snakes? I've always loved water snakes, and have always wanted to keep one. Of course, this is more of a future project. My new garter I'm getting (will be my second) comes first. But at some point I'd like to keep a banded water snake. Maybe even this year. (along with another garter. Garter first)

Water snakes are awesome snakes to keep. I use to keep bandeds, midlands, and red mangrove waters. They have pretty much the same requirements as garters except for they need bigger cages because they get bigger. When you get ready for one let me know because i might be able to give you one.

Why not post some of the pics here Shannon? Those water snakes of yours are stunners. Oops, I see you did post one but I remember some others that are very pretty.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Something I'd like to get into down the road, but I think I'd like to expand my garter collection first. Maybe in the meantime, some nice water morphs will come into the trade.

Aqua is a Northern water snake.
