I keep pairs of Black Pines, Northern Pines (Ocean County), Louisiana, Mexican Lined Pines and Northern Mexican Pines. I keep all of them on dried pine.Originally Posted by meowmeowkazoo
Thanks so much!
The main things to consider are that they like their ambients and their basking spots on the cooler ends. I keep my hot spots no higher than 84 degrees and the ambient in the low 70s. In the winter I brumate the adults. Many pituophis, especially Ruthveni, are impossible to breed without brumating.
They also do better with moderate to low humidity, good ventilation and multiple smaller prey items. Pines, especially Jani and Lineaticollis, are prone to regurging prey items that are too large.
They remain nippier as juveniles than ball pythons and also poop more frequently.
Other than that, they are fairly bulletproof.
