>>Awesome Toby- he looks great. What are your cage temps if you don't mind me asking? Can't wait to see that female!

Thanks! I am keeping them at the same temps I use for most of my ratsnakes, which is room temperature. This fluctuates, a little, from the low - high 70's F. I am currently not using any heat for them, and they do not seem to need it. According to a few sources, they are sensitive to temperature extremes, and need a heated area when brumated - where they will keep their heads warm. Possibly equally important as temperature, is having a well-ventilated cage with good hiding opportunities, and a hide with moist substrate, such as sphagnum moss.
Pics of the female coming in a few days, after she digests for a couple days.
