I've been doing some research on snakes in general as I'm looking for the right species for a first snake. I was beginning to have my heart set on the Rough Green Snake, and then I came across something in a book I was reading. The author put the Opheodrys species in his top ten worst list. He said that they required more food and were delicate and discouraged beginners having them.

But on petco.com, there is a care sheet for Rough Greens and says that they are dainty, gentle, and easy to handle.

If anyone has had some hands on experience, that'd be really nice. I just want to understand this more.

Thanks in advance!
