I dont keep any candoias right now (i dont keep any snakes for that matter, parents, duh). But i saw one store with a baby candoia and 2 crix (the place is actually a pet district, specialize in fish, but also has turts& torts (and exotic ones to), one has FB newts, tribs, and candoia!!!).SO i wandered if it is ok. The place here is great. Another is a birds (and mammals) pet district. It has 1 or 2 shops wich specialize in herps(especially snakes). (Got bluey there)
Food for herps are good. No lizard / snake pellets/ sausages though. Crix, meals, earthworms, feeder frogs, fish, shrimp, tubifex, daphnia, & mice & rats.

There's alot of Pet Shop's that have Cricket's running around and sometime's end up in snake encloser's.As far as i know The (Rough Green Snake)is the only Cricket eater,im not sure on the (Smoth Green Snake).If they wher Vitamin-Mineral dusted then maybe they wher trying to feed Cricket's to the snake !I know i've been in alot of Pet Shop's,and seen dead Cricket's floating in Water Bowl's !Some Pet Shop's know and provide the proper care for there Reptile's,but most need to do there Homework and study the species they have.You need to work on your Parent's,on the Beauty of the Snake,maybe they'll change there mind's and let you get one.Just explain there's way to many Snake's in Pet Shop's that need Good Home's,maybe they'll breakdown and let you get one ! ! Good Luck ! !
Have A Good One ! !
