I house and maintain mine exactly like Corn Snakes. There is one notable issue, though. They seem to have a penchant for sporadic feeding. One of mine has gone on fasts as long as 75 days. The other is a little more regular feeder. To break the fast, I used a trick suggested by Ronda (Northwest Herps). I dropped down the size of the meal items to Fuzzies. They quickly started eating again. Even then, they are hit and miss or whether they eat in any given week.
For what its worth, I love those snakes. They are beautiful and active. Mine like to hang out at the front of the cage and generally watch the world go by. Have fun with them and keep me posted. I'd like to follow their progress.
