Water Snake as a Pet?

[tsdsbd]

I have had a Nerodia as a captive for years... He is an awesome snake.

The care is very much the same as garter snake care. I find them on my property all the time, many times quite far from the water.



Looking up at me while I take pictures....



Aqua is such a cool snake...

They musk like garter snakes do. Nasty business.
