I'm probably going to be getting this pink leucistic pine snake. She's just so pretty, and I have to admit I'm missing my old corn snake a little. Pines seem like a good option because I've been wanting a heavier-bodied snake, and I'm not easily intimidated by hissing or bites. The guy says she has a friendly personality.
I've read up all I can find on these guys, but there's not a lot of information out there compared to ball pythons or corn snakes. Most of the care sheets I found were copy/paste jobs of other care sheets.
I have a 30-gallon tank. Will either be using aspen or kiln-dried pine or cypress mulch or coconut husk...lol. I have a heat pad already and a thermostat for it. This tank has just been sitting around unused, and is ready for a new herp.
From what I can tell I will need to keep the heat pad at about 85 degrees. Obviously I'll be providing a good water dish and multiple hides. Feeding mice and rats.
The care seems very similar to corn snake care, I guess I just would like some advice from people who have actually kept these animals. I'm big into research, and it irks me that there are so few resources available specifically for pines.
