All green snakes (smooth and rough) eat soft bodied insects i.e. spiders, grubs, crickets. I feed my rough green 12 gut loaded crickets (1 1/2 times the width of the snakes head) a week, however a varied diet may prove more successful with a reluctant feeder. They will generally not eat while you are watching. Also they require UV lighting for 10 hours a day, and will not drink from a water bowl, you have to mist the enclosure, and the snake, twice daily. The rough species is extremely arboreal and will spend all of its time in trees and shrubs. Humidity must be kept high > 70%, to avoid shedding issues. They do not take well to handling. Of the 10 snakes that I currently keep this is definately the most difficult. Good Luck!!
