I used to keep tons of these when i was too young to know that it was illegal to keep them in my state. A pot of pothos or tons of fake vines work well for these little buggers. I had a basking spot of 88 degrees in one corner and left fluorescents on for 10 hours a day for the plants. The ambient temps stayed around 78 degrees with a night time drop to 70. They do well in groups, but your gonna have to be watchful during eating since these little guys are real hogs when it comes to dinner. I had to start mine on grasshoppers and caterpillars. After some coaxing I got them all to feed on just crickets which made winter time feeding simple. For watering I kept three water dishes at different areas, and levels in the terrarium. I also misted a couple of times a week, but that was really more for the benefit of my plants then the snakes themselves. Overall they do make great first time snakes, and you can really build an elaborate vivarium that anybody would love to sit an watch.
