    Thanks, the tank has an 18 x 18 footprint and is 24 inches tall. I have an exoterra top with a uv flourescent and a halogen uv bulb. I live both lights on for twelve hours a day.

    The tank is at room temp, never lower than 70 degrees. I found conflicting info on additional heat so I have an ut heater I have not used yet.

    As I said I mist them so the leaves are damp.

    There are hanging leaves and vines,two horizontal branches like you would se in a tree python tank.

    Large water dish that i clean once a week.

    Reptibark much bedding.

    Again they were feeding great until I put the twenty crickets in at once...I took out all but three or four crickets a few days ago. No feeding yet.

    Yaah I believe the 20 crickets jumping around all over them stressed them out because they might be disturbing the snake during the night when its trying to sleep. So just put 2-3 in the cage. If they still dont eat them take all of the crickets out for a day or two to let them rest then put two smaller sized crickets in there. Dont really know how to handle this situation because I never had it happen to me before, but if I did I would aproach it in that way.

    Hmmmm.... Its either wat a few days and offor little food and if that doesnt work them force feed, or let it go back into the wild where you found it and go back out there to find the youngest one there is. If option 1 doesnt work then your only hope of the critters survival would be to let it go and find another one. OR if there is a reptile show comming up then go there and see if there are any for sale ^.^

    Well one is eating and one passed away in the night...its a shame no one breeds these because they are great snakes.

    Could be the stress of having a roommate but everything says these guys can live a few in a tank without a problem.
