::Catching wc eastern milks(in the northeast anyway)is easy but getting adults established enough for consistent breeding is still very difficult. I would recommend to anyone thinking along these lines to either get CB babies(likely from wc gravid animals)or wc immature snakes as they acclimate 4-5X easier than any adults I have encountered. I would also recomment VERY heavy feedings of the females as they have been known to go off feed all summer from many locales. Good luck,Jeff

::Iv'e had some luck with bigger easterns I usually don't try and feed them till about 2-4 weeks after capture, keep them in a low trafficked area, also it helps to put a prekilled or frozen thawed mouse in at night, some times small lizards can be used for scenting anoles usualy, even up in the north where there are no lizards it has worked for me, or garter snakes if the lizards don't work good luck breeding keep me informed if you have any succesful breedings I would be interest in the babies
