>>That was good advice from Cole in my opinion also, Dusty. And by the same token, elapsoides wouldn't make a very good office snake anyway, as they are EXTREMELY secretive and nervous by nature. In other words, you would simply be staring at what seemed to be an empty tank all the time because they would be hiding. And if you didn't offer them good hiding places, they wouldn't do well anyway. Sort of a "catch-22"...

Thanks, Doug. I know they're nervous and secretive. I should have been more clear that this would be more of a vivarium subject than a "pet", since I never intend to handle the snake. It's more of a project. I'd be trying to use some of de Vosjoli's suggestions, as per his Art of Keeping Snakes book, to use a lot of shading (from plants, etc.) to get forest-dwelling milksnakes to come out more. He says it works. We'll see what happens when I put it to the test! 
Best,
Dusty
