I finally got my first Rough Green snake and I am sooo excited. I didn't have to order him online either. I was visting some friends elsewhere and we dropped by their pet shop to get soem food for their frogs and they had like 1,000 reptiles. One cage had a "Tree Snake" and some green tree frogs and some anoles and some other lizards in it. I immediatly recognized the snake as a rough green snake. I asked the guy about him and he said they get huge and end up eating lizards and mice. I thought that sounded dumb, since this guy was about full grown and he looked like he couldn't even fit his mouth barely around a pinky. So I bought him and he did surprisingly well on the air plane ride and at home I didn't have my cage completely prepared so he spent a couiple days in one of those plastic cageswith hardly anything in it. I noticed he started getting really bored and it has been kinda chilly so I moved him into his new cage last night. It is an old 15 gallon tank that used to be used by my WTFs before I upgraded them. Them bottom just has some moss. He has a ceramic water bowl and a small heating pad in the corner which he likes to sit on. I set up some branches, fake plants, and some other things in there, too. He also has a UVB light above him. He seems kinda freaked out right now so I've decided not to mess with him for a few days because when I touched him he kinda slashed around, but he didn't try to bite me or anything. I think he likes it, though. I ahve a couple of questions: How do I tell if he is a male or a female? Can anything else live with him like an anole or a green tree frog like at the petstore? What should I feed him besides crickets? Thanks for your help!!! I'll keep you all updated!!!
