Hey,
I have had one of those racer myself. They are a docile species. A 20 to 40 gallon would be fine. A dry substrate with a hide box and water dish would be great. They need a 75 watt heat lamp over them for 12 hours a day. They will east mice, lizards, moths, grasshoppers, crickets, and even smaller snakes. They should eat once or twice every week. They are a active snake that needs to be fed at least 2 times every week. The more you handle them the more they will get tame and not be affraid of people. And they can live up to 15 years if kept well. There are a lot of bad names given to the family of racers and coachwhips. Manly because they are aggressive. But i myself have had a large number of racers and coachwhips and still do and all i have ever had were once mean and now tame. Some just dont tame, but most do. If you have any more questions just email me at wchuntsman@msn.com. I also have Aol, Msn, and Yahoo messenger. Feel free to add me anytime if you like. I hope i have helped. WILLIAM H.
