    Its an eastern milk. Many of them will give a hard time as captive species. Even the CB ones I've rarely seen are supposedly hard to keep. They can be very picky eaters, there is no one thing that they will definatly mow on. Most people have success feeding them small lizards/skinks.

    If you're going to keep it. I'd suggest a very strict quarantine. Keep it as far as possible from your collection. If you have other CB animals quarantined, keep him away from them as well. Its highly likely he has internal parasites or something else kicking around. Taking him to the vet to get everything worked over is a must if you want to fully incorporate him into your collection.

    Hes a lovely looking fellow. I dont know hes worth the trouble he may cause you though lol.

    Because I've gotten half and half answers for each it makes me really nervous to release him. I'm going to attempt to feed him a mouse tomorrow night and see how he eats it, and I will be sending a fecal sample to my vet to check for parasites...which is one of the first things I thought. Are they known to eat rodents as well? I was under the impression that they have similar diet to corn snakes in captivity...
