Found this brown snake, 12-14" and fat and wondered if anyone keeps them? and if they are easy to keep, temp, humidity, are they egglayers, egg incubation temps, hibernate, ect.
Thanks
Jeff

Well there's no incubation temps, as they are live bearers. Most people I know have had a difficult time keeping Browns alive for an extended period of time. This is mainly due to humidity. These snakes need a certain amount to do well, though if provided with too much humidity, they'll get "skin blisters," which ultimately kills them. It's been suggested that a "humidity gradient" may be helpful to have in their cage.

hey, you have a GRAVID adult female brown snake. she should have 15-25 LIVE babies in about 2months. keep her cage moist so that the babies dont get stuck in their sacs. her babies will be only 3-4 inches and youll want too let them go unless you can catch dozens of small worms a week. feed the mom heavy on worms and have fun with the babies.
