Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Rough Greensnakes
Hey All you herp lovers,
I'm pretty new to this cite and I'm new to keeping Rough Green Snakes, so I thought that I would start a thread to invite a little bit of help. Anyone with thoughts on how to keep these guys happy and healthy, please contribute. It seems despite their beauty there are not many people keeping them as pets. Perhaps because they are tricky to keep alive. 
Let's do what we can to help keep their population growing.

I got a buddy down here that is actually attempting to start breeding RGS.
His advice (and mine as well) is: do not treat these snakes like your typical snakes. Treat them like you would a green anole or something.
These snakes do not fare well in the traditional glass tank with aspen shavings, a water bowl and a cave. Set them up in a naturalistic terrarium with lots of foliage to climb through/on. Mist daily and feed small inverts.

Now that is good advice. Too many times the RGS / SGS die prematurely due to incorrect husbandry practice.

I can't see the pics either.
Right now I have one rough green snake and I really wish more folks were breeding them.
That's spot on what you said about treating them like anoles.

Update of your rough green snakes
Hi!
I'm looking into setting up a Naturalistic environment for 1-2 Rough Green Snakes. I'm curious to know how things have gone with your snakes so far. Any luck/tips with either breeding or care that you have by now?

I have always set them up in planted terrariums with frequent misting.
I feed them crickets, moths, and spiders.
I've never had one live longer than 5 years though. And that one was one I hatched.

Thanks for the info Tim! I'll keep my eyes out for a Captive bred specimen.
