I wish you good luck with him!! Think "lizard" in terms of keeping with plenty of cage foliage for hiding, and UVB. Give it a basking spot around 85 degrees on a section of elevated foliage/branches. I dont think they will use bottom heat like other snakes, and would probably do best with a bulb to provide top heat. I am sure they sun on top of foliage in the wild. Also, rough greens MAY NOT drink from a dish. Also very lizard like. You will probably have to mist it and a section of the cage daily for it to stay hyrdated. Maybe give it a bit of a soak once or twice a week? I cant remember where I heard this from, or even if I remember correctly, but I dont think they take to water bowls very well. Also, offer as much diversity in food as it will accept, and maybe try supplementing with calcium and vitamins like a lizard? The fact of the matter is the rough green may not be a very long lived snake even in the wild. Probably a life expectancy similar to an anoles or fence lizard.
