My experience(I first produced these in '82) is that they need dry bedding and clean water--substrates like cypress mulch-way too moist. They definately are hiders, I can't imagine overfeeding one as long as it's not oversized prey. Interestingly, my adults will eat just about anything-I put a fresh chicken egg in with a big male 2 nights ago and he ate it immediately. You should be able to get them on thawed rats/mice easily. I am working this year on acclimating some to 100% NC Florida climate, so far they seem to tolerate temps between a native herp and tropicals. I have had babies that ate live mice the day they hatched as well, only snake I've ever had do that. I've also had them where they wouldn't eat, period, indefinately...strange animals!--Kerry Swan, Citra, Fl
