Hi Dan

I know, I dont think he had a clue about snakes other than the fact
he sells them. It looks healthy enough and has a long tapering tail,
could possibly be a male.

OK in list order lol

I have Mais as substrate
(http://www.jrs.de/jrs/uk/tierhyg/ch_mais.htm)
A heat mat under one end and nothing under the other. A hide undere
both ends cold and hot end and also on in the middle. Water bowl from
the pics you can see is quite big and he gets in it no problem. I fed
him a pinkie last night which had gone by this morning. The shop
owner said he normally eats 2 a week. To be perfectly honest I have
no idea of the temp other than the fact there is a heat mat under the
tank, I will get a thermometer and let you know. The tank is 2 foot
by one foot.

Thanks once again Dan greatly appreciated

Den
