Viv - Guarded Ceramic heater or heat mat
Tub - Heat mat The temperature should be controlled by a suitable thermostat and monitored using a digital thermometer Feeding In the wild Rodents, Lizards In captivity mice and rats of appropriate size Comments Is a small diurnal ratsnake who is considered by many to be semi arboreal although some specimens are practically terrestrial. In their natural habitat they have high humidity but in captivity they do better in a drier setup with a moist hide, which they do not appear to use very often. Since keeping them in a drier environment they have never experienced any shedding problems (which they did frequently previously) and their skin is in much better condition.
