Hey Bob,



That buttermilk you are buying is just awesome. I have one right now that has no spots and is navy blue. Mine is tame as well. Buttermilk Racer(Coluber constrictor anthicus) are from Louisiana and southern texas. They will eat small snakes, insects, rodents and more. They get up to 4 ft, but usally stay at 2 to 3 ft. Yours will do fine in a 40 gallon tank. Fed once a week. 75 watt heat lamp over for 12 hours a day. And once or twice a week mist them because they come from the south so they will need it. Make sure a water dish is always present and fresh. You can use aspen as substrate or non treated potting soil, and make sure there is a hide box, do not make it too large, make sure its faily small so when he goes in it, he will fell safe. And keep a few fake plants and rocks in there. Well Bob if you have any more question and if you ever get rid of that snake some day i would like first dibs on it. Email me at wchuntsman@msn.com for any additional questions. THANKS, WILLIAM H. AND THE GREEN PINE MUSEUM.
