Housing:

Size - Appropriately sized and shaped habitat for an adult rough green snake to accommodate normal behavior and exercise.
Substrate - Mulch type, coconut fibre bedding, dampened sphagnum moss and reptile bark.
Habitat - Provide a hiding area just large enough for your snake to fit inside and a branch or décor to climb on. Maintain 40 to 60% humidity; higher during shedding.
Temperature - Temperature gradient (26°C for the warm end and 21°C for the cool end).
Provide a basking area about 29 to 31°C to aid digestion.
Lighting - Snakes need a photo period light cycle; provide 8 to 12 hours of light daily, UVB should be provided and is best done using a komodo solar D3 UV. Don't leave white light on at all times; a black or infrared light should be used at night.
Do not house different snake species together.
