I kept a pair of wc rough greens for a while. They fed on crickets from day 1.

Crickets seems best, some other softbodied insects.
If you think she is gravid I would be sure she has several inches of soft dirt substrate to lay in.

Thank you,
I try to upload a photo but my photos are to big. If anyone could let me e-mail them a few photos of it maybe you could tell me want you think. But, she sure looks gravid to me. She is about 2'- 30" long. I do not know anything about these snakes except I love the way they look and would love to keep this one. I mostly keep venomous snakes I do keep a few other non-vens, Rat snakes, H2Os, Etc. This is my first green.
Thanks for your help,
Fabian

I've kept dozens (they are still common here). All eat crickets imediatly.

Very Important! Mist daily.
