I keep them in a 20 gallon high aquarium.

I cut out a bathroom mat to fit on the bottom of the aquarium...the type with rubber on the bottom side and low pile carpet on the other. I can easily remove it and wash it out with a hose. It also, doesn’t allow the crickets to hide.

I also have some suction cups with hooks to attach the fake vines to which encircle the enclosure.

I have a deep water bowl with a few rocks inside...and an automatic misting system that splits off from my Veiled Cham cage. I’ve only seen the snakes drink from misting and it is the only issue with these snakes in captivity.

I feed them crickets every 5 days or so (dusting them with vitamins) and they have done very well. I hatched them out for a friend last year and kept 3 of the 7 for myself...they are really cool to watch feed.

Hope this helps...

-RG
