I was curious to know if anyone is currently working w/ this fascinating and very underrated species? In my experience, WC adults do not fare well in captivity, but juveniles and younger specimens do acclimate quite well.

Split Rock reptiles is anticipating a hatch later this summer(July?)of E. gloydi. I'm considering acquiring one if they are successful. I already own 3 Elaphe vulpina and really enjoy them. Only one of them is wc and it has been a problem feeder (currently on a hunger strike). It was wild last Fall. Better to acqire wc e.vulpina juvies in the spring from what i read and have been told. Assuming the same would be true for E. gloydi. Let me know if you find one. Have you worked with fox snakes before?
