I had one for many years in a large reptarium. It's a pretty hardy snake that prefers 75-85 ambient temperatures and a spot lamp to 90 , and high humidity. They will apreciate a live tree to climb around in and a hide box in the tree. I never saw mine on the ground, ever. Nothing unusual about their care accept that you will have a hard time feeding them anything but tree frogs. If you don't keep the humidity up, you will have shedding problems.
