Legalities on Patchnoses depends on your state. Ca. allows you to have 2 with a valid freshwater fishing licence, but you cannot buy, sell, or trade them.
In California, This basically leaves you with catching one, which is one of the reasons you dont see many in the hobby. They arent the most likely snake for most people to catch, and they are really fast.
Not much information is out there on them, and many people think they are not easy to keep, and that they are solely lizard feeders. I think people also shy away because they seem like such nervous animals, and most people prefer easily handled snakes.
My Desert Patchnose is wild caught, and eats small rodents great. Its easily handled- just dont ever let it go on the ground haha. I dont handle it much though- it seems to do great being left alone.
