Rough Greensnakes

I've had one now for almost two years. A few things that I have learned... if you leave crickets in the cage for them to eat, always keep plenty of food for the crickets otherwise they will bite the snakes (esp the smaller ones) and for some strange reason, cricket bites are toxic to snakes and can kill them.
I've got a total of five currently. I am introducing silkworms and green hornworms as a food. Some take one and not the other, some take both. They definitely like to mix it up.
Also, apparently a diet of only crickets will kill them as well. I've been told that it is the exoskeleton of the crickets...
Also, when I can find catepillars and grubs, they love them.
Let's keep posting what works.

Great info Snyds. I think this varied diet is the main reason its hard to find them captive bred and hearing stories of them dying soon after they've been caught form the wild. The diet needs variation.
Breeding a number of different grubs and insects at home could be a useful way to always have a variation to offer.

So far I've heard of the following being fed:
Soft bodied insects

-crickets: but only occasionally b/c of hard skeleton.
-waxworms
-silkworms
-green hornworms
-moths
-meal worms: head squished as they've been known to bite.
-superworms

Shonarkin,
Have you fed your greens super worms and meal worms?
I've been worried b/c of the exoskeleton issue. Good advice about
crushing the head though. The same guy who warned me about too
many crickets being harmful also mentioned that he had seen a rough
green which ate a meal worm, it didn't digest it fast enough and the
worm ate its way out of the snake.

Also, what about earthworms? Have you ever tried?

I don't have any Rough Green snakes YET! Right now I'm gathering info from around the web and people I talk to on forums and stores. I want to be prepared and more informed when I get one. Am prolly moving down to Florida next summer, so I might be working on building a Live plant Terrarium until then and once down there get a Rough Green Snake.

Nasty to hear about the meal worm eating out of the body of the snake, thats terrible. But yeah, a varied diet and special care with "harder" food seems to be what works the best.

Good luck!
