anybody keep water snakes?

I know this is a garter snake forum, but I'm sure somebody here has tried to keep water snakes or currently has some... Those who were successful in breeding them I'm interested in hearing how you keep/kept them.

Yes, Northern and Florida Hypos.

Lots of people here do.

For the record, water snakes count on this forum.

I keep one FL hypo cherry water snake. Started off a nice little worm, has since turned into the spawn of satan, but still really enjoy working with this species. Very heavy bodied compared to most garters, but keeping them is pretty much the same as far as husbandry goes.

I'm right there with you on that. Most of my non-garters will be leaving within the next year for that very reason.
I love all my snakes but my off garter species are not garters, if you know what I mean

But you only have like 8... And you have 300 garters...
