Very easy snakes to keep-if they are feeding. I have seen several come in that were not and those can be a bear.
Care is exactly the same as for any common ratsnake, Bull, Indigo or chain king.
Envenomation can be moderate to non-existant in effect. Some bite. Most don't.

I've used both aspen and cypress mulch....They really are generalists so care is really easy.
