If you want to keep them ur best bet is to source some CB, there are ppl in the UK who successfully breed them, but with WC u do hear a lot of ppl say they just die suddenly and are riddled with parasites.
They need a UV tube too not sure what rating.

Hi Thomas, I had a rough green snake and although it was CB I did have a lot of trouble getting it to eat and althou I had it for about a year it did eventually die. I would suggest that if your going to get one, get it from a reputable breeder and ask to see it eat a couple of times before you take it. All the best! Smile
