Plan the habitat for the adult animal, with secure housing and room to carry out its natural behaviour.

Lifespan Around 15–20 years.
Temperament Individuals vary; allow time to settle before any handling.

Housing & Setup

Enclosure dimensions are length × depth × height unless stated otherwise. Plan for the adult animal; larger, suitably furnished housing is encouraged.

Adult housing At least 240 × 90 × 120 cm for a large adult; length must allow full extension.

Humidity / moisture Moderate humidity with a damp shedding hide; confirm the supplied locality’s conditions.
Substrate Species-appropriate, pesticide-free substrate; avoid aromatic woods.
Furnishings & filtration Substantial climbing branches, secure hides and a water bowl.

Behaviour & Compatibility

House individually. A long, fast and sometimes defensive snake requiring confident, supported handling.

Feeding & Nutrition

Offer appropriately sized, fully thawed whole rodents. Confirm the current prey size and feeding schedule at collection; juveniles generally feed more frequently than adults. Adjust portions to body condition and do not use plain muscle meat as a staple. Routine calcium dusting is not needed for balanced whole prey. Provide fresh water daily.

Routine Care

Check temperatures, humidity, appetite and behaviour daily. Replace drinking water and remove waste promptly. Clean bowls and contaminated furnishings regularly; monitor weight and shedding. Arrange advice from an exotics vet for persistent changes in appetite, breathing or movement.

Important Before Buying

Confirm locality/subspecies and expected adult size. Prepare the final secure enclosure before buying.
