hi i need alot of info on smooth green snakes about there housing and there attitude and what they eat and the price of them and about how much this will all cause thanks

I'm not totally sure but I do know that the will eat small fish, insects (spiders, crickets ect.) I think earth worms and slugs work as well you could also try pinkies. There price could range anwhere from 5-25$ I personally wouldnt pay more than 7 though. Anways their enviroment from what I've seen is relatively moist and grassy near ponds or canals and around debrie. I have also cought them on gravel roads near grass. Best bet is type in smooth green snake in the search engine and check them out. Hope I could help.

Green snakes are quite 'touchy' and really not a beginner snake. Highish humidity, loads of hides, plants, secretive. Soft bodied bug eaters. Crickets. Here smooths are indigenous so you can only buy roughs and they are around $20 but all wild caughts. I suspect the same will be true for you with smooths. And the kicker for me was that you get a wc animal that is infested with parasites and you need to worm and demite and often by then they die anyway.
