"... keep like Elaphe ..."

Which one, LOL! Besides, Diadem Ratsnakes actually aren't ratsnakes, they belong to the racer tribe (although it must be said it's a rather basal lineage which shows a lot of nested similarities with some ratsnake lineages, also racers and ratsnakes as phylogenetic taxa aren't really that distinct to begin with).

Anyway, they like it hot and dry. They have rather fierce attitudes and like to be left alone. Care isn't that complicated. Give it plenty of room, a secure hide, a short brumation (2 months will do), and they'll do just fine.
