:I would have to disagree with Marcel as to 25 C being the maximum temperature they can stand I kept them and breed them in Miami, Fl with no problem. They seem to go on feeding frenzy in the spring and fall. they also would actively feed when the weather was in the 50's thats around 10C. As a friend pointed out corns might feed when it was this cold but they wouldn't keep it down.
The neatest thing was the female laid a clutch of eggs while I was out of town being sort of busy I left the eggs in the cage with her. Then I noticed during the day she would be basking in the sunlight coming through the window and at night she would be wrapped around her clutch. Everybody who saw this said she was brooding. Wish someone else could confirm this behavior. BTW this very snake is pictured in John Mehrtens LIVING SNAKES OF THE WORLD.
