It's certainly natricine, so the captive requirements should be similar to that of a Garter. I don't usually 'Google' but this one has got me curious!!
I believe James is right on target. Please note that the brown snake does not eat fish... earthworms and slugs are the mainstay, with frogs and salamanders as a diversion.
