In Reply to: Care of Eastern Mud Snakes??? posted by jeanne on April 26, 2003 at 11:17:31:
It really is not worth it. They are VERY aquatic and need lots of aquatic vegetation. They stay buried most of the day and come out at night. Feeding is probably the part you get "screwed over" on. These snakes may take fish or frogs, but this is rare. They normally eat ONLY aquatic salamanders, i.e. sirens and amphiumas. If you want to go out and catch a large number of sirens and amphiumas every week, you can probably do fine. But in my opinion, and generally the opinion of the herp community, these snakes are best left in the wild though they are one of the most beautiful herps around. Andy
