green snake care

my wife and son came home with a green snake from a pet shop.they said it eats worms.i have it in a 20gal hight tank with some moss,plants hide,and water.it's about 14in and very skinny.i searched for a care sheet and found rough green snakes,but the care sheet wasn't that great.anyone with experience with them or can point me out to a good care sheet?thanks in advance.

We have those snakes wild around here,lol. I used to have one though, we fed him worms and crickets. You can also feed him meal worms and superworms though. And about his habitat it sounds like your doing an excellent job. Do you have a hiding place for him? ((a hide box)) And maybe something to cimb on would be great.

If you would like to know anything else, I would be glad to try and help you with it. Good Luck with your snake! =)

i have a hide box and some plants to climb in.i was wondering about best substrate and what kind of lighting and/or heat?thanks for your reply.

Okay then...

Substrate- Mulch-type commercial material; unbleached paper towels, soil, dampened sphagnum moss, and bark; aspen and pine shavings, pelleted paper


Temperature- temperature gradient (80 F. for the warm end and 70 F. for the cool end)Recommend radiant heat; use an incandescent light or ceramic heater as primary heat source, use undertank heat as a secondary choice.


Lighting- Snakes need a photo period life cycle; provide 8-12 hours of light daily; DO NOT leave white light on at all times; to view snake at night you can use a black or infrared light.


I hope this helps some. If you'd like to know anything else i would be glad to try and help you out. Take Care for Now! =D
