I got a good deal on some E carinata het albinos that I couldn't pass up. What I've seen thus far suggest a largely terrestrial species, probably needing temps in the mid 80s to the low 70s on the cool end, with moderate humidity. What I've read says 150-200 centimeters (all the sources were European or Asian so the metric system ruled the day). They all suggested cycling to breed, but most of them didn't talk about maturation rate, feeding, etc. Has anyone worked with them,and if so would you care to share your experiences? Right now I'm planning on putting them in some 28 quart tubs (they're about 20" then in CB70s then in probably 4x2 cages, using cypress, giving them some stuff to climb on and hide on, like a normal colubrid...
