I kept and bred them for several years. They were easy to keep and easy to breed. I gave them up when I got married and my wife had a problem with all the reptiles. They eat fish, and have a high metabolism. Most people failed because they tried to keep them like racers or cornsnakes when they are more like garter Snakes. To breed them you just feed them alot, feed daily accept for winter months and they will lay up to three clutches a year. Typically 6 -8 eggs. I kept them in groups of three or four, in 100 gallon reptariums load with live plants, ficus trees etc.
