difference on how they do in captivity ? It seems the west Texas or the more arid ones ( my experience ) do poorly in captivity due to getting them to take mammals for food. And the neonates even worse to feed non-lizards than our species of milk snakes here and they are about the same size at hatch-lings as our milk snakes ( small ). It seems the farther north the better of getting them to eat rodents. But then these could be the recognized sub-species. The family of Glossy has a fairly big distribution of range in the USA. I have found 2 of the species in west Texas although I had to watch which ones i ever brought back as to the Kansas species here is on a non collected list ( i think it is still so ).
