I had a student bring in two pinewoods snakes today. He said they were both under the same board and appeared to be mating.
they are about 10 inches and both have part of their tails missing. I put them in my planted terrarium which has a rough green and an eastern glass snake. They are neat. Buddy

Well those pinewoods may end up being chow for the eastern glass lizard as most glass lizards eat small snakes. And I learned that the hard way. I put some green snakes with my eastern glass snake and it took 2 seconds for both of them to attack the green snakes, but I was lucky to get them off the green snakes, so small stuff with the glass snakes may end up a snack if or when the glass snake gets very hungry.

Thanks I didn't know glass snakes ate small snakes He has been eating crickets and he is not much bigger than them. I'll switch the cages if they are still there on Monday. The green snake in the same terrarium is much bigger and stays in the plant canopys most of the time.

I have seen greensnakes thought close to impossible to keep. How do you keep yours , I imagine you feed him crickets,wax worms?

Yea it eats crickets. I have it in a 40 gallon high wqith about 6 inches of potting soil a few live plants and several plastic plants. I do put some earthworms now and then but don't think he eats them. The glass snake eats earthworms and crickets.

They are neat snakes and unlike lots snakes you see them all the time .
I might set up a 30 extra high for a pair of them wasnt sure if delicate to keep.
Thanks

I found both snakes today and put them in a different tank away from the glass snake.

Hey Buddy...

How's it going dude?

That pine woods snake adult you gave me a while back actually survived for close to a year. Even though I couldn't get food for it the majority of the time it lived well.

Good luck with these ones.
