I had one of these little beauties when I was 10, and I had it for around 2 years. i'm thinking about getting another one, and i've got a few Q's about them.


+) I know they need a heat source (I only used a heat mat last time) but is it absolutley nesasary to have a hear bulb/lamp thing for them to do well in captitvity?

+) what is the reccomended humidity levels for this sp.? it doesn't really say anything about that in online caresheets.b

+) I know these little snakes are very docile and calm, but can they be kept communaly?

advice would be much appreciated. Smile

1Heat mats/Light are needed for all reptiles so they can have a warmside and Coolside to digest properly and funcion properly.

2 Dunno. Make sure its higher during shed though

3I don't think there is any snake that SHOULD be kept communally.

snakes dont need a light bulb really aslong as you can reach the desired temps with heat mat alone. As most snakes are nocturnal anyway.

they were on...well not ever on but the bark chips as were housed with the tree frogs!
Shop told us *years ago* that it was ok...and it was. no problems. only the giant day gecko had some issues...again told all together would be fine and they are...well the snakes died!
and they just died. no injuries...just in position in the braches in the bushes...and maggots. was very gross

well I didnt really think so either!
But they were in with whites tree frogs and a giant day gecko!
the snakes are dead now but the frogs and gecko are very happy together!!!!

Not something I would do or allow him to do but when he got them..I didnt know anything about reptiles etc...so just went along with it...but they all live happily together!!! strange eh!
But not something I would suggest as a good idea

yeah a few years ago there was a real problem with loose substrates.
alot of them were contaminated with various bug eggs, i myself lost a berber sking to beetle from loose substrate ( aspen i think but i was young so not 100% )
thats why ppl who still use aspen and some other substrates always nuke or freeze to kill off the eggs.
