LOL! Another post about Smooth Green Snakes

[Faunaofthenorth]

Hi, im nick from northern minnesota and well many many years ago in a galaxy far far away, in northern minnesota, there were once the beautiful smooth green snakes here, but unfortunately in northern minnesota they are basically extinct at least in the north eastern part, and recently, in the last summer, i took an adventurous trip to various parts of southern minnesota for the very purpose of finding one of these specimens, but came out short. I asked around when i was in the southern parts where there are records of them being there but the only clue i could get out of anyone was that a farmer at a farmers market told me that the other day he came accross 3 or 4 smooth green snakes underneath a heybale and he said he killed them, and i was devastated. So, my question, to everyone out there, is that I WILL PAY AN ARM AND A LEG if it means getting one of these snakes, ok, i mean please someone, just catch one, where it isnt illegal, and i will pay whatever price, as long as its not like 2 arms, and 2 legs because then i would be a quadriped, lol so please i would really extremly and radically appreciate it please thanks

I see them very often on the farm in pennsylvania. I advise against getting a WC smooth green. For one, its probably illegal everywhere, as thy are not exactly in good standings, because if idiots like that farmer. Second, as a kid when I knew no better I kept some as pets. They would live happily in their viv and feast on insects for me, but always die within a few months. Wild caught's simply don't do well in captivity. Try going for a captive bred rought green snake. It's not illgal to own and even better, it's CB. I see specimens pop up from time to time.

if you like green snakes, why not opt for something like a red-tailed green rat snake, or one of the other many ratsnake species that are bring green?!

well thanks for your reply and concern and i appreciate it haha i have recently thought about it although i still have like a small obsession with smooth green snakes just because i was never able to even try to care for them lol well anyways ryt now there are a few top prioroties such as catching the little ******* ground squirrel that killed a bunch of garters at a huge snake den i discovered a few years back it was my favorite place ever but well i just wanna live trap him and release him a few miles down the road, i kno its natural that hes there but still i cannot help it

Might I suggest posting a wanted ad on ReptileAuctions or kiji? That may help you a bit. I admire you're compassion to obtain a dream and hope that you don't let that fire die. If it's one thing we need in this world, it's a thing to believe in and to try with all our hearts to acheive
