So how many little crickets should I feed him?

And no heat rocks. Light instead.
No outside bugs.
Got it. :]


And yeah, I've been planning on doing some online research on my own.
I haven't had much time lately, I've only been on this website in the past couple of days.
I probably will have time today though.

Oh, I forgot to ask.
What plants would you recommend?
I'm going to do research on that right now, but if you have anything specific you think would be good, let me know. :]

You're looking for low maintenance plants, that thrive with moderate humidity.
You might be able to get a few pothos in there. You could also try some ivy plants, they're pretty easy. Maybe even some ferns near the bottom, just keep them out of direct harsh light. You can get some of these from home depot, or a plant supply store, but could also check Live Plants: Black Jungle Terrarium Supply .
As for how many crickets you feed him, that's tough, it's hard to give you a number, because it comes down to the snake's size.
My suggestion for feeding, is take a clear deli cup, like what a reptile would come in from a breeder, cut a hole, twice as wide as the snake in the lid, and place the deli cup, with the food items in it inside the tank when your feeding. The first time, I'd put the cup in with plenty of crickets, watch it for about 10 minutes, and find out how many the snake eats. After that, just feed that many 2x a week, using the deli cup.
Here's a link to a book for sale on Rough green snakes, I'm not sure how great it is, but I came across it while searching for a certain book on boas.

Wow. I just had a whole bunch typed out, then clicked "temporarily allow popups" so I could use spell check...
It deleted the whole thing.
Rawr.

Oh well. Anyway, what I had said was:

I've been looking at plants, and I think I want to get a moss to grow ontop of the substrate [[whatever substrate I'd need to grow moss on...]].

I also have been looking for a particular looking vine, but I'm not sure if one exists.
Here's a description of what I think would be good for Sprite [[my little snakey's name lol]]:

A vine that doesn't need things to twist and grow around, with leaves, but not very many, where the actual vine part itself isn't smaller than 1/2 inch or bigger that 3/4 inch.
Is there such a plant?

If not, then I'll get a vine with few leaves that has a thin viney part, and get it to grow around sticks and other climbs I'll have in his terrarium. :]

Should I post this in the plant forums incase anyone there knows?

As far as I know, Most if not all vines, need something else to attach to, if they just free float like that, they're another plant. You could always buy dead vines that you can twine around yourself.
Moss would be nice, but can get a bit harder to keep clean, other than that I can't see why not to use it for these guys, though it could make the humidity too high. If you do use it make sure there is good air circulation. It'll usually grow on a EcoEarth and organic potting soil mix.

You could try asking in the plant forums for more suggestion too.

You could also make your own vine. Get some thick rope and cover it with silicone. If you want a more natural look, add some EcoEarth to the silicone before it sets.

I had 2 smooth green snakes when I was a teenager. I'm not sure how different they are from rough green snakes. Mine were very docile and surprisingly mellow for small snakes. I handled them regularly and enjoyed having them. They also ate crickets which I bought at the pet store and fed once a week.
Good luck with yours -- he's a cutie.

Smooth Green Snakes are more terrestrial, whereas rough green snakes are more arboreal. There are also differences in size, behavior, and even their food in the wild.
And as far as I know, you can't have smooth green snakes as pets anymore, I'm pretty sure they are listed as threatened.

Thanks for the information Ryan. I bought my green snakes from a pet store in California 27 years ago; so things have obviously changed a lot since then.

Thank you. :]
I adore him.

I may just make my own vine, or get more dead ones.
I got some from outside. Most weren't actually dead, but I figured that would be better than dead things because they would have more bugs than live ones.
I have those in his cage now.
They're not tall enough for his new enclosure though, so yeah.
I think I'll take this to the plant forum when I get more time
