Racers & Brown Snakes

[Muslim1]

I love Racers and Brown Snakes. For someone like me who has a background in venomous but am now interested in Colubrids, I have alot of questions.

Are Racers and Brown Snakes readily available captive bred, are they kept in captivity often?

I believe both are protected in NE and IA.

I don't know of anyone who breds Storeria dekayi because of very, very small neonates and I think Racers don't do well in captivity.

Thats kinda what I gathered. The neonates of dekayi I found were compared to a dime! Tiny little guys. Very cool though.

S. dekayi are wonderful snakes.

Brown snakes are normally not for sale, but Racers are available. You must check your states laws if you can keep them.

S. dekayi might not be a Thamnophis but they have many like qualities.
