From what it sounds like racers are pretty easy to get going, I've heard this from a few others as well. Neonates are kept in shoeboxes and left alone, crickets/grasshoppers are food.

Are they visualy oriented specificaly or will they take FT rodents?

I would think a basking spot of 90 with an ambient of 75/80 and a cool of around 70?

What sub-species of Coluber have you worked with?

I have always wanted to play around with some of my local Coluber constrictor mormon, they're such cool snakes. I think I may just be stuck on the general stigma that they're really dificult snakes and should just give it a go.

On to Masticophis, I hear they're the worst as juvies/neonates and theres not many out there as hard to get started. What I'm taking from you is you have to live where you have access to many diferent species of thier native lizards?

Do you find they prefer Scelops, Eumeces, Anolis, what else?

I would also love to work with some nice Eastern Coaches someday.

Any info is very appreciated.
Nate
