Thx Carl!
I keep them on moist cocopeat and 25-28°C at the warm side.
They don't like it hot.
In nature they eat snakes but mine are captive bred and feed on fuzies.

What a cool looking snake! Did your CBs take mice from the get-go?

They have never eaten anything else than mice and I want to keep it like that.
I bought them from a German who imported them from South Africa.
