I've got a pair of them myself and they are very much like ball pythons in their care though not much like them in personallity. They're more active and inquisitive then the average ball and generally feed very well. They actually remind me of kingsnakes in a way, mine like to take their prey and squeeze it up against the side of their cage rather then throw a coil around it. They do coil their prey from time to time they just seem to prefer the 'crush against the wall' method. My female has a wierd way of feeding too, once she's crushed her prey against the wall, she'll stick her nose into the side of her food and push against it while gradually opening her mouth. It's a very slow bite, not like the fast strike of the balls. My male is a biter and a bit high strung, when I take him out of his tub he does a lot of twitching and thrashing as his way of saying 'leave me alone' He keeps it up for a while too before calming down. I've heard you're more likely to find biters then with ball pythons but still overall they're pretty calm. As far as care, I keep them in the same rack with my ball pythons and they're tubs are set up the same way. I do have them in the top tubs of my rack as those tubs are generally a little drier then the lower ones and they do seem to like it a bit less humid than balls.
