Thanks for all the info. I have a 60 gallon with a stand I plan on using for it in the house so it will be setup properly. It was a very unexpected find and I only had a mesh top for the smaller tank at the time, so I will get him setup this weekend. Only a small portion of the tank gets direct sun and I have been watching the temp (thermometer on glass inside tank) and the highest it has reached so far was 84-85, I too was worried about getting too hot. Im sure most of you are aware of the snake populations in south florida, they seem to thrive in our climate. I will look for the mites and find a vet for the stool sample. I am stoked to have found such a cool snake, it will make a great additon next to the geckos, bearded dragon and chameleon.( whats one more reptile right lol) two more quetions, how do I tell sex and any idea on how large I should expect it to get? Thanks again for the help, seems like a great community you guys have here and I will post more pics when I get it setup.
