I have kept them before under usual rat snake conditions. They don't get to large and the adults will be fuzzy eaters. Imports come in all the time, last week I saw about 40 at strictly reptiles , but I suggest you get large numbers and expect a lot of losses before you get some acclamated.

: : does anyone have alot of info,or know were to get alot of info,mainly living conditions?

:
: I treat mine mainly like I do my ratsnakes and a few garters I have. I have one subadult female (needing a male), I keep on aspen with a large hide jug filled with paper towel, and a large water jug half full. She spends most of her time in the hide, but a large amt. of time soaking in the water, too. She is trained to eat thawed pinks, but hasn't eaten in a couple weeks. If they have wild blood, they'll want to hibernate. Remember, if they're imports, they probably have to be doctored for parasites. Good luck.
