price on a rough green is going to be subjective to the seller since they're not too common. if i gave you a price i'd be lying.

There is another post here under snakes for the rough green. I think this is the one.

Rough Green Snake

hope it helps.

And beckdg, I agree I'm a firm believer that larger is better as far as enclosures. The more room they have to explore the better, not only does it help excerise (helps combat obease snakes) but it better replacates the enviroment for them by placeing rock's tree's and such. That not only helps them feel more at home but it aids in the health of the snake.

Oh yea if you want to have a small enclosure for a small snake (though he likes to hide alot) check out sand boa's. They look like large earth worms. LOL

the difference between 12' and 14' is almost unbelievable isn't it?

when i saw her i felt almost like i was on a safari even though she was in a cage. her head was HUGE lol. i know there are larger snakes but for a redtail that was a surprise to me at the time (probably over 10 yrs ago now).

i think the sand boa is an excellent choice... Housing Sand Boas in Captivity

i still think coconut products provide a much better substrate though.

Yea unreal how big around she too, damn bigger then my fist balled up (and I don't have lil hands) LOL. One of the reasons I got a redtail. Plus they are a beautiful snake (not one into all these hypos and such).

From what I have read, grass snakes are NOT easy to keep .... they are quite fragile. Not a good choice for a first snake if that is what it would be.

Another option might be Children's python (Antaresia childreni) -- they max out at about 1m (39 inches)
