Default green cat snakes

hi, i'm aware that green cat snakes aren't actually on the DWA list but i thought it would b a good idea too ask here. i was just wondering what their temperments are like, how big they grow to and what sort of setups they require? i'm not looking to aquire 1 anytime soon but just wanted to see if they might be something i might like to keep in the future.
thank you.

Temperament... unpredictable at best.

Size... approx 5ft.

They require a large arboreal viv (something in the region of 3' x 3' x 2')

All boiga species are renowned for being a nightmare to get feeding in captivity. They stress very easily, you cant really handle them if you want them to stay unstressed (plus their not exactly friendly lol), and you cant have them as a display as they need to be kept somewhere quiet.

Lovely snakes, but not exactly the best pets.

Tis easily done when people ask me if i have any venomous snakes i ALWAYS forget the hoggy - silly really, if they get a good chew on you they can give you a right comedy hand and one hell of a headache! Lovely snakes though, cant help but love them x
