I keep one myself
these snakes live in a lot of diferent habitats and your best bet is to know where they've been collected.

I keep mine in a high cage with live plants and a lot of branches for climbing

my specimen was captured in Honduras but i don't know the exact location, therefore i keep the terrarium wet and warm (as most of the Honduran forest is) 60%R/H 28-30 celcius day 80-90% >22 at night

for ventilation and a higher humidity i use an air pump and bublestone (100 L/h)
and mist the terra on a regular basis (they are drinking from the leaves)

they feed on anolis and gecko sp. but with some patience they will eat small fish as well.

regards,
Martin
