He's pretty content to just chill out on a perch most of the time. He is currently in two Neodesha 2' cubes linked together, but will likely be moved to a 4l'x2d'x2h' soon. One of the unique things with scrubs compared to most pythons is that the males get larger on average than females. Most captive females I know of are under 9', with some males reaching lengths of about ten. A ten foot Mol would be fine in a 4'x2'x2' with a couple perches running the length of the cage, though you could spoil them with a little more length or height. Now remember these guys are very slender, not at all like terrestrial boids like burms and retics. They are even more slender than JCPs as adults, and a 9 footer could fit into a hide that a 3000 gram ball would have trouble squeezing into.

Do you know any breeders with any for sale? Have you found any good sites for care of them besides VPI?

You won't find any CB, as they have only been bred a handful of times in the US. A couple US breeders did actually get viable eggs that went full-term this season, but I can guarantee you that all those were spoken for long ago. Juvies and sub-adults are imported fairly regularly, so they pop-up now and then. This site has some good info. He is one of the few breeders that has successfully reproduced these guys worldwide, and the translation from german to english pretty good.
