From what I've heard, green snakes are extremely hard to take care of. I think I read something about them dying unexpectedly. That might have been something else, though.

Where can you get green snakes. I heard that we are sopposed to have them here but I havent seen any. I want to catch one and keep it. I saw one in a garter snake book (i forgot the exact name ) but that one is so awesome. I think it might be cause my favorite color is green.

Green snakes are a heartbreaking disappointment.

They all have special dietary requirements that people cannot seem to copy in captivity.

Then they die well before old age sets in.

Well, not necessarily. They can be kept. They are very hard to keep, and only have 3-5 year life-span, but it's possible to keep them. But I wouldnt reccommend them to anybody.

The problem with green snakes is most people try to feed them crickets all the time. I kept one in a huge tank with lots of plants and branches and it fed on smaller crickets, roaches, and hairless caterpillars and i had it for 6 years before i traded it for a garter to a friend. I think the exosceleton on a diet full of crickets all the time is just too hard on them. The hairless caterpillars are the way to go but they are not easy to get all the time. Thats why they are found mostly in trees because they love caterpillars.

Please enlighten us with your wisdom and experience.. How many have you successfully (or even unsuccessfully) kept?

Now this is some useful information... Thanks

That's all I could have said. Don't only feed crickets etc.

Ive never kept one, but I have so many near me, I learn a lot about them, including captive care. I know people who have them.

I was just saying that, even though it's kind difficult, they can be kept successfully, to their expected life-span. (5 or so years)
