    What's he like? Does he eat well for you? I'd love one someday but keep hearing how fragile they are.

    Re: Snakes if anyone wants some..

    I have kept a smooth green I found in my backyard for a bit... he did alright. they need a cage that's heavily planted to feel secure. They are great because they eat insects! Possibly the most plentiful food there is. I don't recommend keeping green snakes unless you really know what you are doing, they seem to drop dead for almost no reason sometimes. I would only buy them if they were CB from a breeder who owns and bred the adults theirself... the ones you see in pet stores and most on KS are wild caught, and are usually already worn out past being saved. It is a shame that the prettier and more needy an animal is... the more it is exploited and mass murdered by the pet trade. Green Snakes, Green Iguanas, hermit crabs and Sunbeam snakes all fall into this category.

    have you guys seen all the sunbeams snakes that have been wrangled lately up just because thy're pretty? Nobody really understands them... and they often die in captivity of either starvation, or when people think that the white spots that they get on thier skin is from being too wet, and dry them out... and then boom the snake develops a resp and dies! The truth is... the white spots indicate not enough humidity.

    Re: Snakes if anyone wants some..

    Mostly just a passing thought anyways, Limon is lots of green snake!

    His attitude is moody. The more time I spend with him the more I learn about his quirks.

    He has bit, and when he cocks back and lets rip, it hurts! he is a bit over 4 feet and still growing super fast, he sheds every month.

    Any clues just exactly how big a Cyclophiops Major can get??

    I assume the Major in it's species name means "Big".
