Not surprising. A lot of snakes have the unearned reputation of being difficult to maintain. Corals, for instance. Their habits & micro-habitat are much the same as Storeria. I kept them for many years, even having a few that would accept food items from forceps. If one is willing to put in the work to set the animal up with what it needs to feel comfortable, it's amazing what can be accomplished.
