In the planning stages for my hots. I only plan on keeping a few natives, and right now that list includes:

1. Southern Copperhead - Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix

2. Canebrake - Crotalus horridus

3. Western Cottonmouth - Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma

4. Texas Coral Snake - Micrurus fulvius tener

I was fortunate enough to be able to work with a canebrake and copperhead a couple years ago. Now, my questions are for those that have or currently keep them guys.

1. What size enclosures will I need for each as an adult? I plan on purchasing locking ones from Jason Miller, I just do not know sizing.

2. Does anyone have any good care sheets? I feel like I have a good understanding of what they will need, but would like more information.

3. Finally, has anyone kept the coral snake? And if so, how do you go about feeding? From my understanding they typically do not take rats, and when hey do it is not nutritionally sound for them, as they typically eat snakes, Lizards, frogs and the occasional fish.

Thanks for any and all information.

Edit - I am aware of the permit required for the canebrake.
