I had a rough green a couple years ago, and while I would not recommend them for beginners, they aren't that hard to keep.
I used one of the mesh sided arboreal enclosures and kept a small number of crickets in at all times and as large a water dish as I could fit. Also set up some plastic foliage and dowel rod "tower" for climbing. Misted at least once a day. The tricky part is that these guys are VERY fast snakes. Mine wasn't nippy, but they aren't cuddly.
(I think the mesh enclosure is an exoterra product. Made for lizards.)

My two cents,
Murri
