    Long-nosed green vine snake (Oxybelis fulgidus)
    A bit tricky to convert to mice from lizards, but not impossible. A rear-fang with mild venom that can cause some localized swelling, but isn't dangerous. (Should probably be kept like a hot).

    It remains on my 'some day' list, as I just think this snake is the coolest. :)

    I have another one for your list

    Variable kingsnakes aka Thayeri kingsnakes aka Nuevo Leon Kingsnakes

    Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri

    I'd say they're beginner to intermediate. They are naturally lizard/frog feeders (scenting may be required with babies) and they are a small species. They max out at 3 feet in length.

    I love these guys because you can get a huge variety of babies out of a clutch of two parents. You can breed two kings that may look different and get some unusual results. Bob Applegate has a good example of three completely different looking babies out of the same clutch http://www.applegatereptiles.com/species/thayeri.htm

    Here's a link to most of my guys

    OK Thayeri Kings go on the list. They are indeed quite cool.

    I have also just discovered a snake with the common name "False Fer-de-Lance" scientific name Xenodon rabdocephalus. These little guys are wicked cool looking.

    Here is a link to a blog where a guy found one,

    Now if I can just find an importer that can get me a trio or three I would have a new project. Look at those guys! My gut is they would quickly adapt to captivity very well,
