Hey, Brad,
.
"wild caught adults were notorious for doing poorly in captivity"

.
Do you have an opinion on why that was? Restlessness of wild caught? Parasite load? Specialized food?
.
That and their limited habitat with the encroachment of humanity, though they seemed locally abundant when I went there in '92, are probably good reasons for their protection in both US states and Canada where the Easterns are found.
.
The hatchlings are hardy, if given conditions that are cooler than more southern Rat Snakes (72 - 78 F).
