We keep ours in a cheap homemade rack that holds 5 large kitty ltter pans and has back heat. We keep them on Sani-chips, and feed in the enclosure. Mine have been like this for 4 years, and we are expecting our second litter in 2 years this way. I always judge a group of animals happiness by wether or not they reproduce. A snake that reproduces viable offspring obviously have ideal conditions, or they would not breed and successfully have offspring.

Just my .02,
