I have a bunch of gopher/pine/bull snakes since I was a kid ive probably kept around 10. I have 4 right now, not including my other snakes. You already keep a python so I wont bore you with any care taking but, I have noticed the pine and bull snakes from the north like it cooler, dont make their hot spot too hot. I keep most my northern guys at 80 degrees hot end and 70-75 cool end they seem to like this setup and thrive well.

If you catch a wild pine its going to be used to going into brumation around winter time every year. Keeping them awake after years of sleeping through the winter can be detremetal to some-others dont care, depends on the snake. When the temps cool down outside dont be suprised if your new snake stops eating and sits at the cooler end of the tank for about 3 or 4 months. Google "brumating snakes" and you can recreate winter if you want-its not too hard, this is how breeders get their snakes to mate that are from North America.

Once you take a snake out of the wild and keep it for awhile dont ever realease it back into the field. This is how new diseases are introduced into the wild killing local populations and sometimes wiping them off the map.

Good luck put some pics up if you find a pine, I hear they are a real PITA to find in the wild.
