| Morph Patterns Available | Yes |
| Adult Size | Can grow 3-5 feet(0.9 - 1.5m) |
| Accommodation | A desert savannah with 3-5 inches of sand to allow for burrowing. You will want to include a large dish for bathing and soaking in to improve shedding. Always include a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Along with multiple hides. Minimum 2 x 2 x 4 feet for an adult. |
| Lifespan | Can live 15-20 years |
| Feeding / Diet | Lizards(Newborns), mice, and rats. Depending on the size of your snake. No bigger than the diameter of the thickest part of the snake. |
| Breeding | They are oviparous, laying a clutch of up to 10 eggs that take about 3 months to hatch. |

However, like all animals, they can still become sick or injured despite our best intentions to prevent this. |
