Yeah, as others have stated, easterns are not a species that does well in captivity. I have kept a few wild caught over the years and worked on getting them feeding strong and on a staple diet that I could realistically maintain, but none would take rodents - scented or not. Most of them would take Green Tree Frogs after some time, but those were getting harder to get in my area. Easterns are also more prone to be dramatic, while bites are uncommon, hooding is extremely common as is playing dead - this leads to higher levels of stress in the animal and ultimately could explain their horror in captivity. Westerns are every bit as awesome though, as are Mexicans, you can even look into Tri-colored
