having a hard time finding out proper temps and housing requirements (cage size, if prefer climbing or are burrowers, etc) for these guys. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Treat them like a corn snake just keep them a bit cooler. They can also be hibernated a bit cooler and longer than corns. They are quite simple to care for.

Thank you...do they tend to burrow and climb more?

Never given them anything to climb on. I'm sure they would if provided!

Mine do not borrow but do spend a great deal of time in their hides (like most snakes do).

Great! thank you. I was hoping to put one in my rack, but I tend to feel a bit quilty putting climbing snakes in racks.

Do you have any pics to share?

I keep all three of mine in a rack system. But I also don't feel badly about putting most snakes in such an enclosure.

I don't know how to post pictures but if you give me your email I can send you one.
