rough green tree snakes

[damien1010]

just thote id say i bought 2 of them from viper and vine in manchester and both are eating pooing really well, i heard alot of bad things about these snakes but all is well, anyone else have any off these intresting little critters?

I had one it ate and pooed fine then 6 months later popped its clogs and it kinda made me stick to snakes that alot is known about but they are great little things just a shame about the mortality rate.

Mine also 'did well' for about 6 months before all 3 suddenly died. I'd get in touch with wildlifewarrior and take all the advice he can give you, and hopefully he can help you stop yours going the same way. He has a sucessfull group of these.

i have rough green eggs incubating as we speak, i like them, like holding a bit of wire as they dart about alot, but generally nice to look at, i have found them to be very active during the day, mooching about. Most people get them in as fresh wc and feed them crickets and they don't last a month, trick to them is when you get fresh wc in, feed them wc insects, their guts are used to the bacteria, and going from wc food to lab bred that quickly kills them, so feeding wc insects with the odd cb cricket for a while, and gradually swap them over to crickets / locusts over time, they do very well

might get in touch with you as well as WLW soon then, as for years i've wanted to join the small fraternity of RGS breeders
