Hey Trex,That last picture is of an adult wild caught female,males are usually less than half their size.They don't need a light,they prefer the dark and get all the warmth they need from an under the tank heater "U.T.H." These also work much better as they deliver warmth right to their tummy where it's needed for proper digestion.Recent genetic studies show the Madagascan boas to be very closely related to candoia.I keep several Dummerils.But I understand you want a small snake that does not bite.You might consider a rosy boa or a pretty corn snake.Corns don't bite often and don't hurt if they do,my candoia don't bite at all.Most rosies don't bite at all.Getting bitten by a Dumerils hurts. picture of my pink dumerils girl jenni/
