I have worked with them before. From what I learned from my supplier, humidity is extremely important. They also need humidity holding substrate such as bark or mulch in which they can freely burrow, and will spend most of their time under the substrate. Basically, they're a really cool looking species that you will almost never see, and should also almost never handle, as despite their docile nature, they are very susceptible to stress and should be left alone as much as possible. This trait made them impractical for a retail store and this is why I stopped carrying them.
Some quick stats: 80+% humidity. very important.
I kept them on a 75-85 degree heat gradient. They are capable of tolerating it a few degrees hotter.
substrate at least 6 inches deep.
Don't get musked. Worst musk of any snake I have ever encountered. I could smell it on the sales floor and it happened in the basement.
Definitely what I would consider an advanced species. I will say that they ate pretty well though.
