  1. well, it depends on if you caught it, or bought it.

    wild caught snakes normally don't appreciate it. but they can eventually.

    any snake can be taught to let you hold it. I have tamed hundreds of snakes.

    let it slide through your fingers. don't grab it, let it hold on to you.

    and if it bites, tough it out, and keep trying. once it gets the idea that you are NOT trying to kill it. it will calm down and will let you hold it.


  2. the issue with rough green snakes is they tend to be quite skitish and jumpy any sudden movements and they may bite. they can be tamed (if captive bred wild caught are extremely difficult to tame)

    also when handling be very gentle as these are delicate snakes and being heavy handed can easily injure or kill them

  3. if captive bred then yes if wild caught no.
