I was thumbing through a guide to African herps not too long ago, and saw a picture of one of these. Stunning animal, so I looked around a bit online and found a few...but there's very minimal care info. The most exact I saw was "keep like elaphe" which...well...not too exact.

I'm guessing they do all right in fairly dry warm conditions, but I don't anything about burrowing, climbing or any oddball things they do. I'd imagine the humidity isn't an issue, heat...should the warm end be like 80 or more like 90?



Anyone got advice on 'em? I'd been looking for a species to work with and was leaning towards beak nosed snakes but these look really neat too.
