Green Rough Snake - New Snake Owner
So I have been wanting an insectivorous snake forever and a half. This weekend at a reptile expo I finally found one and decided to purchase this rough green snake, which I have named String Bean (SB). I also purchased the habit I have attached a photo of above. This habitat is currently a temporary one as I'm moving in a month and am planning on getting a much nicer and bigger terrarium that will be bioactive as well.
The issue that I'm having is now I'm worried that maybe I went in over my head as everything I'm reading on rough greens is that they are extremely fragile and hard to keep. Despite the vendor I purchased SB from stating that it would be fine, even as a first time snake owner.
SB seems happy so far. Roaming around, ate about 4 crickets (medium size) on the second day, and is drinking and pooping normally.
Temperature during the day in the enclosure gets up to about 85°F and at night when I switch off the light goes down to about 71°F. Humidity is between 50-70%. The temporary enclosure is also bioactive with live plants (purchased at a reptile store), reptisoil substrate with a drainage later, some dry leaves and woodchips. Plus the log in the front, which us his/her main hideaway.
My questions to you is, did I indeed get in over my head?
Is a rough green snake really that difficult to care for?
Do you all have any general advice on rough green snake ownership?
If you've owned a rough green what was your experience keeping them?
I appreciate all advice and helpful comments in advance.
