i kept one of these for about a year but i traded it! it ate TONS of worms. i'm talking about 5-10 big ones a day. don't buy baitshop worm unless you know where they come from, because most farmed worms don't have the nutrition your snake will need, and your snake will starve slowly to death. i never did get it to eat anything else, and i tried it all! i kept it in a 55gal tank with climbing branches. it didn't climb much at all and spent most of its time coiled up in a hide box w/ damp sphagnum moss. they love humidity, mine was happy at about 75-80F with a moist hidebox and cypress mulch substrate misted daily. it fed out of a tupperware box with a small hole cut in the top and washed live worms inside. i love you custom setup!!! only problem i see is that these snakes don't climb much and prefer a setup more like you would set up a garter snake. good luck, that is a beautiful snake if you can keep up with the feeding!
