Green Bush Rat Snakes can be a bit snappy but usually not as bad as a red-tailed green ratsnake. The picture shows an adult female a bit over 3 feet. They eat pinks readily as hatchlings. She now eats large hopper mice.

Be aware that wild-caught red-tailed green rats can be very nippy (VERY) and also quite hard to acclimate. A fecal will definitely need to be done and likely a deparasitization regime.

:He is a beauty, thanks for the pic. How is his disposition? How big is he, and what do they eat as hatchlings and as adults? Is he similar to a red-tailed Green Racer? I know someone who has a wild caught pair and I am tinking of getting them for future breeding. I am not familiar with the species. I only have gopher snakes. Can you tell me if a wild caught pair would be a wise choice? Are they hard to acclimate? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
