I’d certainly go the glass tank route or wooden viv with glass doors as these snakes are fantastic display snakes !
Not just because of their spectacular colouration but mine was also a marvellous climber and never seemed to sleep . Very inquisitive and great to handle .
I had a heat mat under the Eco Terra tank and a small 7W heat mat stuck on the outside of the tank’s back wall about half way up so some of the branches were warm ..
The temps you mentioned look fine - it’s hard to state a perfect temp as mine didn’t have any hides as it just used to crash out anywhere and everywhere at the base of the tank or somwhere in the branches . I had a decent sized , natural looking water bowl so it blended into the landscape -placed under the branches . The Rhino rat snake spent a good amount of time actually submerged !!
If he was under water at feeding time I fed as normal and he used to snatch the mouse /rat off the tongs and devour it UNDERWATER !!
I used orchid bark/Repti bark as it looks great and natural, holds humidity well and made the Green Rhino look even more stunning !
Sooooo.. I’ve drastically reduced the numbers in my collection down from 24 to just 7 !!
Sadly the Rhino was one of the first to go as there was so much interest in it ..
Mine was a young adult I’d say ... just over 3’ long
