Age: CB ~ 5 Years old
Sex: male
Morph: Amel Motley
Suitable for: beginners, perfect size for families with smaller children
Captive bred? Yes
Handling: easy to hold, can be a little wriggly which is common for colubrids
Size range: males 3.5-4ft
Housing and habitat: adult males generally require 4ft vivariums depending on length
Females will be larger than males and can be expected to reach 5 ft in length requiring an adult tank size approximately 4ft x 2ft as appose to males which typically do well in a 4ft.
For adults we would advice thermostatically controlled over head heating set to a 30-32*C basking spot. However, babies tend to do fine on heat mats given their lighter body weights.
The benefit of going for a adult animal is that they can go straight into their final size enclosure saving money in the long run! They are also more use to being handled making them great for children who just want a pet they can hold from day 1! (after appropriate settling in time).
