Food and Water

 Green snakes eat crickets and the occasional mealworm for a snack. They
are most certainly insectivores.
 They will need a shallow water dish deep enough to have a small soak if
they get hot.

Disease Warnings

 Green Snakes are prone to fungal and respiratory infections. Open-

mouthed breathing and wheezing are signs of a respiratory infection, if their
skin is a weird color that is a sign of a fungal infection.

Housing

 The Green Snake is a small snake breed so they can have a smaller tank, 20
gallon would be good so they can move and climb. They prefer vertical so
they can climb away.
 They also will need lots of trees and canopys to hang out in.

Heating

 An overhead heat source like a heat bulb (white light during the day and
red or blue/purple at night) Being diurnal, these snakes should also have a
UVA/UVB bulb on for 10 to 12 hours a day.

Why The Classroom Will Benefit

 Because we have the widest variety of animals, reptiles, amphibians, and

mammals but we don’t have any snakes. So I think it will be good for the
classroom to have one, so we have an even wider variety of animals.
 I will also be the main care taker for the snake.
