Yes they make GREAT display snakes! I keep adults in 4x2x2 AP cages with shelves, flexwatt heat.
My '10s are in 2 foot tall exo-terras. I set 'em up as tropical planted vivariums with hydroton/screen for drainage and a few inches of substrate. I also used epoxy glue to glue some half-circle (small pvc pipe piece cut in half) perch holders, and use two horizontal perches at different heights, along with mopani wood as lower "furniture".
The hatchlings get hides, and often use them. They are not shy like ball pythons, and will just as likely be out. Around 2 years old or so I find carpets stop using hides as much, and I stop providing them shortly after upgrading them to adult sized cages.
