And that algae grows on Freddy's shell like crazy, but I'm assuming that's just because he lives outside.

I have heard that about green snakes...I have a friend who has some and he says that they are very nervous...and hard to keep alive in captivity because of that. He doesn't handle his. They are so beautiful though...and their heads and faces remind me of garters. Are pueblan milksnakes friendly? I have seen some around here in my local pet store before...but have no idea about their disposition.

My brother kept a pueblan that was hyper and nervous, but beautiful. She partially tamed to the point that she wouldn't bite or musk us (still a risk with other people), but it was like night and day comparing her to his lazy sand boa or my radix. Among the milk snakes, I think pueblans are kind of notorious for being spastic.

The rough greens remind me of little mambas. I love it when they gape their mouth

Cool fish! I have some fish myself, but I'm putting my fish collection on hold for a while. Once all of the ones I have are gone I think I'm going to take a break from fish.

The Green Snake is very nervous. The only time I take him out is when I clean his enclosure. I've had two others along with him and they both died within a few months. Every time I put my hand near him he rears back and gapes his mouth at me. When my Milksnake was younger he was pretty flighty and would musk every time he was out, which seems to be the case with all Pueblans. He's calmed down a lot though. He's pretty good when being handled, but if he's out for too long he'll reach a point where he's done and just wants to get out of my hands.

If you like milksnakes and want a more tame and relaxed one then a Honduran milk is probably best from what I've heard. I had a tangerine honduran not so long ago and it was a great little beast. A good size female too. She did tend to get a little funny at meal times though.

I like the Tangerine Hondurans a lot. I also like the Black Milks.

Good looking fish and set-ups, I had kept tropical fish as a teenager but gave up on them because I hated cleaning and changing the water of the tanks, I was somewhat lazy at the time i suppose.
