I have a KY locale eastern and red X eastern natural intergrade. Both are WC and have fed since having collected them. I dont breed snakes yet, so I dont brumate them. But they do slow down feeding during the winter months.

As far as care goes, they can be cared for just like any of the other colubrids. They are a little more secretive and arent out and about in their enclosures as much as a rat or king. But fun to keep nontheless.



Here is the eastern...





And here is the Red X Eastern intergrade...





I want to acquire a really nice red milk as well, so maybe next year I will come across one that is really nice.

They are out there, just havent found one I want to collect yet!! LOL

>>I think these are awesome looking snakes. Im trying to catch some but I have a couple questions. Is it true that some WC easterns are problem feeders? Is there a good care sheet for these snakes? Also where do they hibernate in the wild and should I hibernate them in captivity?

>>thanks a lot
