I would use a VERY reliable pet store or the vet to probe them.although make sure it is an adult first.

Mostly Active During:

None

Substrate and Water Needs:

Do not use pine or cedar chips,sand or loose coconut bedding.i would probably use no print newspaper,paper towels,aspen,bark chips or another product called desert snow.cage liner also works great.give them a large bowl with de-chlorinated water.

A good heating and lighting system would be a 60 watt. lamp.

U do not need humidity.Temperatures:90 degrees F for babies and 80-85 for juveniles and adults.70 at night.

Heating and Equipment:

A60 watt heat lamp and NO hot rocks.they will for sure hurt your snake.

Caging Provided:

A 10 or 15 gal for babies and a 25 or larger when adult.put in a hide each a branch and a rock.large fake plants work well too.

Carnivorous

N/a

Maintenance:

Easy.remove and give fresh water daily.feed 1 or 2 times a week.clean cage and wash or change bedding.
