>>I've always like those, but I have never kept one. How do they fare in captivity?


Nice find, Tim.

I've always liked them too, and have kept a few when I lived in MI, with a DNR permit. Captive raised babies are a lot easier to acclimate than adults; but they can be good captives. They aren't for everyone obviously, not popular like corns, nor do they have the tremendous variation in color/pattern or locales. They have pros and cons. Also, I believe they are protected in every state and province, and you would have to get legal babies from a breeder.

Cheers...TC
