I can tell u what has worked for me this may not be "the right way", but it has and is working for me and my snake eats everytime it is offered food and sheds good and handled well...I have my 18-20 inch baby bp in a 75 gal aquarium but it is cluttered full of fake plants and 4 hides ( 2 cocnut hides ,1 humid hide, and 1 hide made from 3 rocks) I also have in thetank a big piece of drift wood and a water bowl...I use cyprus mulch because it holds humidity well and I have a 12x11 piece of flexwatt heat tape under the tank for belly heat...I keep my temps at 90/80 and temps between 40%-60%...I mist the tank ith a spray bottle when it gets close to 40% and it is good for a few days...I spray the plastic plants heavily because they will drip and keep humidity in the tank...I feed her every 4-5 days a fuzzy rat...I handle her quite ofte but wait atleast 24 hrs after eating...I feed in seperate container...I change water and sot clean daily and full clean monthly or bimonthly deending how dirty it has gotten...I plan on getting more and will be building a rack for them and put them in tubs, but she is my display snake I guess you could say...lol...hope this helps...u will find what wotks best for u and ur snakes
