Talking Rough Green Snake

Well I talked about in my gecko post but I got myself a Rough Green Snake today. They are said to be a challenge to keep but is seems to me it realy depends on the indevidual animal. Ive read alot of mixed reviews. I hope Mine is one of the good ones. I have her set up in the Vert I was originaly building for PDFs(it turned out realy nice!) Hopefuly I will get some pictures soon of all my animals.

Where are Rough Green Snakes from? They sound interesting.

They come from the south central USA. Indiana has them listed as a threatened species due to deforeststation in the state but they range generaly from kentucky to southern Texas, even as far as New Mexico. She is doing ok so far. She hasent ventured from the top of her "Tree" yet but She looks healthy so far and I think she ate one of the crickets I put in for her(one I know drowned in the water bowl. Had the temp a little high but I think I have it worked out now. They need 70s to low 80s like maybe 81 or 82 It got to 86 on day one but today I kept it to a nice 80 all day. I will have to see if it drops to low tonight the night light kept it at 80 all night so im thinking with it off it should drop to a nice 74-75 for the night. Ill have pics as soon as I can.
