Ridleyi aren't too difficult as long as they're CB. Don't touch imports as they tend not to last long...

They like it quite cool - I keep mine around 75 degrees. They shouldn't be over 80, and then a night time drop. Reasonable humid - moist hides or a misting once a week, nothing excessive though a bit more when they are shedding.

Mine eat both rats and mice, though I tend to feed several smaller items rather than bigger ones. These guys like to climb and are active so a big viv with branches is required.

Temperaments differ, mine are evil, others are very tame. However, they're fantastic snakes...

Steve
