rough green and vine snake

eatinmachine Jan 19, 2005 03:19 PM

I was wondering if a rough green snake and a asian vine snake would get along and if the vine snake would eat the rough green. I think that what would happen is the rough green would either be eaten or be so intimidated it wouldn't eat it would have crickets because I keep lizards in there for the lizards the vine eats I want a second opinion could this be possible?

Ah it is very difficult to maintain any two snakes in the same cage for a long time. Much less, the species you mentioned have a different diet and different parasite load which would easily and eventually spread through the water bowl or food. Green snakes are quite easily stressed and are pretty much snakes that do not do well and decline fast if stressed. If you put them together as babies, it might work, but drop a wild caught of each in the same cage, and after a while, either snake may stress and its not worth the risk of loosing an animal over the expense of trying to see if they will make it together.
