I'm glad to see someone besides me acknowledges how awesome these guys look. i think as long as you are willing to put the animals needs ahead of your own to give it a proper cage, they would be awesome to keep.

the 3' animal i had years ago started out in a 20gal, but i felt horrible after a couple days because it had no room to move and I know they really like to look around after watching them in the wild. so i sold my oscars and jack dempseys so i could turn my 55 gal aquarium into a snake tank to keep it in. I still didnt think that was big enough for it, but at least he quit banging his head into glass and calmed down a little. it was a neat captive and ate frozen thawed mice from tongs first time offered.

i ended up turning it loose along with about 20 water snakes in a field near my parents house. it was crawling with racerunner lizards and had a little stream running through it so i figured it was a great idea at the time (14years old). no clue how they all turned out though.
