How hard are they to care for?

[MKHerps]

Not to hard, these ar my first so i cant really give alot of advise. The reasearch i have done says they basically need to be a room temp. Nothing above 80-82 degrees, upper 70's is probably better. They are very small snakes average size for males are 18 inches long and females around 36 inches long. They need to be misted three times a week. They seldom drink from water dishes, but from being misted. They will drink the water of the leaves and their heads during misting. They are a little harder to get started eating when they are neonates, but once started they do well. I am very exited to get these. I have wanted some for almost five years now. They also carry the Tiger gene, so hopefully I will produce Tigers, Gold Tigers, Golds, and Christmas Trees. Maybe even a Christmas Tree Tiger. Mine hopefully will breed next season, we will see.
