>>Have you considered a small Natricine or Opheodrys? They're both diurnal and active. I've got an ExoTerra in my office, too. While I keep mostly locality milks at home, I've got a pair of Crested Geckos at work. They're visible and easy to feed, since they eat a powdered diet. Just some things to think about.

Thanks for all of the helpful info, Cole. I have thought of both Garters and Opheodrys, and may go that direction...one thing that bothers me about some dealers is that they take so many of the Rough Greens from the wild. If there were captive-bred Opheodrys available, I might do that.
I'm even considering a large ringneck like regalis.
Easy feeders is a plus...I know that Scarlets and Ringnecks aren't the easiest, but I don't mind a slight challenge as long as it's a species that could use some publication as to its care and natural history, OR is just an interesting captive.
Okay, 20 questions... 
Do the Cresteds eat almost entirely powdered diet? That's pretty tempting. I don't relish the thought of having to purchase crickets for one animal. Funnily enough, I have de Vosjoli's Crested book, but I don't think I've read it.
Do syspila retain their bright red colors into adulthood?
Thanks again!
DR
