Hah, thanks for your confidence. I do believe Dusty's book should tell you all you need to know ...as I've said, I only have one but...

I got him as a young adult and he used to be a fickle feeder but in the last few months he's really turned on and has put on size and weight. What did the trick I don't know really. He loves to smash himself into the tightest of places as one might expect for a species from a land with little refuge sans limestone cracks and fissures.

I let him out sometimes in a secure room and once after looking "everywhere" finally discovered him under his Exoterra terrarium where the gap to enter under the base is no more than 3/8 inch!!! He was about 4 feet at the time, believe it or not. ...and he's done that since, so it was no accident!

I think he'll make a nice display animal if you give him mutlipe hide options and some branches to crawl on. Exoterra is an excellent option for that.

CAUTION for Exoterra keepers: the way the doors open on these terrariums creates a gap which may pinch a tail or worse on closure, or when fully opened. Always check carefully and move slowly. I almost clipped his tail once and just barely kinked it ...still shows the slightest little bend about a half inch from the tip, but is fine thankfully.

He is the sweetest of snakes and a true pleasure to have.
