In Reply to: Any info needed about Cave rat snake posted by surucucu on September 19, 2002 at 02:14:19:
if you've got a captive bred animal then ridleyi are pretty hardy and do well in captivity.
They like a bit of humidity,though not loads, I use bark chips for substrate and spray the viv once or twice a week. I increase this when they are shedding.
Ridleyi can get up to seven feet and even beyond so need a decent size viv and they will also climb. Mine are in a 4x2x2 viv and also can eb shy so need some good hiding spots.
Temp wise they like it cooler than most asian elaphe - I keep mine at mid seventies - with a hot spot at around 80 degrees and a slight night time drop.
They'll eat mice and small rats quite happily.
