    One of my favorite prey items when I kept them were caterpillars - they go nuts for em. These snakes really seem to thrive in naturalistic vivariums. Mine were WC and they would feed within a day or two if set up properly and offered enticing prey items(try any bug you can pluck off a tree or bush - moth, butterfly, caterpillar, spider, grasshopper, etc). I used soil substrate that was heavily planted(philodendron is a good one that'll creep all over the enclosure and give them plenty of climbing/hiding opportunities). I'd water the plants daily with a spray bottle so they had drinking opportunities and so my plants wouldn't die. Mine were always setup with a uvb/uva tube light since they are active diurnal snakes, figured it couldn't hurt. Definitely one of the cooler display species, such fun to watch - especially during feeding time!
