Ok, so I finally added a black milk that i purchase this weekend at the reptile show from Cherrville. I can't seem to find any indepth information on them. I know they don't need suplemental heat (I know not to have them in 50 degree temps!

, don't feed them large meals but that is about it. Here are my questions:



1. What is the best substrate for them ( my kings are on aspen)?



2. Since they come from mountaineous areas, should I keep an elevated humidity?



3. Since they don't require raised temps, should I avoid heavy feeding?



4. What would a natural setup look like for Black Milks?



5. Any literature you can recommend for me to read would be awesome!!!!



Thanks in advance and sorry if the post is a bit long.
