basking temp around 80ish, and at least a light daily misting, they come from dry forests and rainforest type environments, but they also experience periods of extreme dry for large parts of the year, so humidity "requirements" can be a bit inconsistent.
As long as they have enough to drink (droplets off the body, and a fresh bowl of water at all times) and are kept reasonably humid (50-70%) they are fine.
what is more important is they get fed regularly.
they can be easy to care for when housed properly, but nobody should ever expect cornsnake hardiness from them.
They don't require large cages, but do require lots of contact security and cover (branches/plants), they generally only eat lizards/frogs, and they need to be misted daily, and do fine in well lit cages.
