hey kev,

tom chiang here. zonatas are wonderful snakes. i've been breeding several ssp for a couple of years now successfully (see picts below). i keep mines in a plastic bin "rack" system. i keep them on aspen shaving but i give them a hide box filled with double milled cypress. temps gradient in enclosure vary a bit (high 82ish low 75ish) and i give them a good cooling in the winter (50 degrees for 3 1/2-4 months). as long as u get some good feeders, u should do fine. how are the ebn garters doing? i produced a [bleep] load of ebns this year. thank goodness i'm down to 1.3 babies.
