Jessica,

I've been told that this subspecies quite easy to keep (even wildcaught specimens thrive in captivity). My male ate from the start frozen thawed pinkies without any problems. Up until now he's also produced perfect sheds (I keep him on paper towels and provide a box filled with damp moss for the humidity). He also responds well to rather large fluctuations in temperature. The only thing that distinguishes him from, for example, a Cornsnake is his attitude: the snake is very high-strung and doesn't tolerate handling. I'm not sure wether this behaviour will stay this way. Gidi told me that his adults are tame as a Cornsnake, but I've also heard from a Malaysian exporter that most (wildcaught) animals will bite when handled.

Regards,

Bert
