It's possible that you do not have vine snakes at all. Many petstores sell green snakes (Opheodrys aestivus) as vine snakes, mostly out of ignorance. Its unlikely that you really do have baby vine snakes as they are rarely bred and would cost in the range of 30-150 dollars. The green snake does eat crickets, and does best when fed a variety of insect fair. I have also noticed that they do better when they are allowed to overwinter, by lowering the lighting and temperatures during the winter months, good luck. Oh, as far as handling is conserned. No small reptile should be handled for more then a few minutes at time. They will quickly absorb heat from you that is uncomfortable to them. If you do have vine snakes, they are rear-fanged as you must be aware, and although they are considered harmless, any venom can potentially produce an allergic reaction and they should therefore be handled with caution.
