what other snakes

[RZL36]

Sounds about right. Everyone will have different experiences (sometimes with the same snake). Watersnakes are fan interesting keep, that's for sure.

Had a WC Northern when I was a kid. Meanest thing ever, but that's how wild caught usually are. I was about 12 when i found it and it never settled down. I lost interest in having it bite me, so i set it free where I found it.

Yes, I think there's often a big difference between wild-caught and captive-bred (water) snakes. My one is born in captivity.
