In Reply to: Hi kerby, question posted by SNAKESDJF on April 13, 2003 at 22:49:50:
As of today I got my fourth ground snake. The first one I obtained a year and a half ago when it crawled into my classroom. I had a few others since then that didn't take to captivity. one I got just after it ate a poisoned (pesticide) bug, it tried to live, but died, the other refused to eat (an adult) and I finally returned it to the wild. This spring they are out in force and the kids at the high school where I teach know I'm into snakes. So now when the little guys crawl into a classroom, the kids bring me the snake, instead of giving it to "little Joey" to torment to death. In the last month I've acquired three of these (one just today). Two of them are about three or four years old, best I can tell, and about 15 to 18 inches long, and the other two, including my original, are about 2 years old, and only 8 or 9 inches long. I feed them crickets, give them a water dish (seen them drink, it's interesting to watch.) I don't give them any but the Arizona heat, milder since they are indoors. They are fascinating little snakes. Hope to get one of the banded phaze ones one of these days. They really are the sweetest little snakes. If the students bring me too many more, I'll start relocating them to our property out in the desert. They'll have an even chance of survival relocated to a new place compared to the school grounds where there are probably a half dozen killed a week.
