Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

they will definitely utilize the space if given, but the more important thing to utilize even with aboreal snakes is still floor space, having some height added to the floor space is even better if you can do it. I learned this from GTP and amazon owners and find it works for virtually any other captive aboreal snake.

They do like humidity, so with them ill spray the cage down once in the morning, live plants are also nice if the cage design allows it. If there isnt condensation on the front the cage doors thats when i mist them down, otherwise i leave them be.

what type of habitat or set up would they need?
Anything special i need to do for this species?
How should i care for them? (for example: everything they need to survive) i'm a first time snake owner so i would like to know as much as i can (its hard finding information about this species) before making the purchase for my snake.
thanks in advance for reading and answering my questions

Hi,
I've kept them at the Bronx & Staten Is Zoos, one of my favorites. Following is an article on their care/nat history; also another on Moellendorff's Ratsnake, which is often found in/near caves, best Frank
