This video starts a bit abruptly because I cut out the intro after uploading. Y'all were bored by it apparently. You just want to see the snake, I get it. 😅
Impressive! I'm in Virginia and despite looking I still haven't seen one. These videos are more helpful than you know, because there really isn't much on their care, out their. So thank you, kindly! May he or she have many more years to come!
i rescued one today from the wild, his entire tail was in a literal knot with tree sap, spiderweb, bug & dirt debris, & also like pillow stuffing fibers 😭 he was in a literal ball and chain situation, probably for quite some time. i gave a warm bath and tweezed all the crap out (took me hours). he was so sweet though and half way through totally trusted me and let me help. now he’s chilling in my old 5 gallon betta fish tank on a drift wood branch. i don’t know if i should keep or release him. i have a beardie, corn snake, frogs, and fish - so i gave him a couple crickets and meal worms and am researching in the mean time. i love your set up!!! i dont know what to do with him though 😅
Oh wow, well done for rescuing him! What a lucky snake. 😊 I suppose it's always better to release them back to the wild if possible. Wild-caught Rough Green Snakes often don't adapt well to the different 'gut flora' of farmed insects, so I'd recommend feeding him wild insects if you can, and then gradually wean him on to the farmed livefood if you do decide to keep him. ❤️
I know this is an old video, but i just recently got my rough green snake!! how long did it take for yours to warm up without darting when the cage is open? i know they’re naturally skiddish and he’s still brand new to the enclosure but do you have any tips to help him get out of his shell? :)
Congrats on your new RGS! 🙂 As I mentioned in the video, I think that short, daily positive interactions really help a lot, and placing the enclosure where you spend a lot of time. I've never grabbed or forcibly picked up Negi (except in an emergency) - handling has always been on her own terms. A Rough Green Snake's first defence from perceived threats is to flee as fast as possible, and they never completely grow out of it, but yours should settle down as it ages and becomes more comfortable in its environment. I can't remember exactly how long it took Negi - maybe around 6 months.
Hiya, sorry ik this vid is reasonably old but I’m really looking into getting one of these guys so hopefully you could help me out with a few questions I have. So, I love snakes and have done for probably six years. I’ve wanted one for ages however I’ve never reasonably considered getting one because my mum is terrified of rodents and anything to do with them and I don’t think I could live with the possibility my snake would have to eat live nor do I think I’d enjoy feeding frozen thawed ones either to be totally honest. However, I was recently reminded of snakes like these guys that eat insects etc for the most part, I currently don’t have any snakes but I do know quite a lot about them. I’m not looking for one urgently but in the next year or 2, do you know how one approximately would cost? If they’re a reasonable first pet snake? How you managed to get one as I know they’re hard to find especially in the uk and finally if there’s any other things I should look out for. I’m 15 and understand they’re arboreal, skittish and don’t love being handled, but honestly just looking and taking care of one is all I could ask for. Thank you so much for reading this through.
Hello! I think that, provided you get one that's captive bred, Rough Greens make great first snakes - Negi is my first snake after all! I actually travelled to the Hamm reptile show in Germany to find Negi, which was a pretty straightforward process when we were in the EU - not sure how it would go now. With that said, since getting Negi I have occasionally seen reptile shops in the UK selling RGS. I think Lincoln Reptiles had some at one point. If you or a parent is on Facebook, I'd recommend just following as many UK reptile shops on there as you can, and hopefully something will come up eventually. As for pricing, I can only go by what I paid for Negi, which was €150. I hope this helps!
Watching other videos from RUclipsrs, you should be able to tell the sex by looking at the tail. Short, fat tails that taper quickly are typically female while males have longer tails that taper very gently.
I'd heard of this method, but without another RGS for comparison, I don't really know what would consistute a 'short' or 'long' tail. I'll have to see if I can find a photo of a male & female side by side.
@@CuriousCreatures I was looking at some pics of the RGS's tails and see what you mean. They are so long & thin to begin with that it's hard to tell. You would almost need a side by side. I spent some time volunteering at our zoo's reptile exhibit & worked with bigger snakes. I haven't spent much time around the bitty guys like the RGS. So effin' cute!
@amandakorbe3773 Thank you for having a look into it! I did also read somewhere that females are more heavy-bodied than males, which makes me think that Negi is probably female, as she's always looked quite chunky for a RGS, and I'm fairly certain that I'm not overfeeding.
That's a pretty insensitive question to ask someone about their pet. I only posted this video a few months ago, and I've had Negi for 5 years at this point. So yes, of course she's still alive.

You take such great care of him its an inspiration.

@@CuriousCreaturesthank you so much ❤
How many gallons is your setup? Which looks great btw!
Thank you! It's a Medium size Reptibreeze which measures 41x41x76cm. Not sure what that is in gallons but I imagine there's a way to calculate it!
Was he captive bred? Where did you purchase him?
Yes. 🙂 I purchased him at a reptile expo in Hamm, Germany. The breeder's name is Dragonzoo.

I’ve got one that’s 60cm and weighs 15g so I’m fairly certain it’s a Male, females can get upwards to 90-100cm and weigh up to 30g or more!
Is this snake still alive?
