I have kept one for years. They are like Racers in that they are typically on the nervous side. They do not need UV but a good hide is in order. It should feed well on frozen/thawed rodents of appropriate size. You may have better luck letting it feed in private away from foot traffic and household activities. I find they do best with small to moderate size food items and not larger sized rodents that constrictors typically can handle. Husbandry is similar to that of most colubrids.
