: Patrick,
: I would be interested in learning how a snake this size{also aboreal}would be kept.Once you have it settled,please describe it's cage and how it works out later on.

Well, since I'm getting a neonate, it'll be a while before I need to deal with housing it when it's full grown. At the moment I'm thinking I'll keep it in a 10 gallon for a while, 'till it's 2 and 1/2 feet long or so, and then moving it into a 2'x2'x2' cage that's got a second level halfway up. I originally made this cage for my black rat snake, though since he's a pretty inactive and non-arboreal snake he's in a 2'x2'x16" cage now... Bill said he's got a pair of 9' long ones in a 5'x5'x4' cage, and I'll have to make something near this size, though about 4'x3'x3' is more likely, whenever mine gets to be 5' long or so...
