>>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.

That's interesting. The only two populations of glossies I have ever kept were the Texas glossies from south Texas and the Painted Desert Glossies from the El Paso area. The big SoTex snakes are no problem. The EP ones were a little more troublesome maybe, but they generally learned to eat domestic mice within a few weeks without much trouble.
