How do you find the moellendorfi in terms of appetite? How fast do they grow?

I recently started keeping coxi and Rhynchophis. Very neat little snakes. Do you keep your Rhynos in a terrestrial or an arboreal set up cage? I'm considering a more arboreal cage for mine once they get some size on them.
Thanks,

I keep them with branches to satify any arboreal tendencies and give them many hiding spots, however they love the water bowl most. When my male finally switched from guppies to pinkies, I had to place the pinky on the rim of the snake's water-bowl for him to accept it. They are my favorite Asian species; they're calm, beautiful, and I love they way they sway their necks to emmulate a moving branch in the wind.

I'm still working on switching my male over to pinks (he finally ate one for me recently, the female eats pinks no problem). The male really does like his fish. I had a similar experience where I had to present the fish scented pink in his water dish to trigger a feeding response. I can tell when they're hungry because they hang out around their water dish, hunting. Once you got yours started on pinks, did they progress normally in prey size (fuzzies, hoppers, mice)?
I agree that they are fascinating little snakes!
