>>120191 rough and smooth green snakes typically make horrible captives though.
as for balls, I work at petco as the reptile associate. even most "wild caught" (they are actually usually ranched in ghana, so really they aren't wild caught but they aren't captive bred either, sorta in between) balls will eat if you just try a few simple tricks (ie. snake and mouse in a bag, giving the snake a nice hide box in the feeding container and leaving the pre killed mouse on a heat pad to stay warm, rubbing the dead mouse on a live mouse, putting a live mouse in the feeding container with the prekilled but secured away from the ball). and if that doesn't work live (even though i strictly recommend prekilled) usually does the trick. out of all the balls we've gotten I've only had one that I couldn't get to eat and I had to force feed for 4 months until he finally succumbed to stress
