"Standard Colubrid Care" usually means the general North American Colubrids that are regualrly available in the pet trade, meaning Pantherophis, Lampropeltis, Pituophis, and MAYBE a few of the Asian Elaphe species of ratsnake.

In other words...85*F on the hot end, room temp on the other, aspen or coconut as a substrate, a hide on each end, water dish, and appropriately sized prey about once a week. Considering the sheer number of species encompassed in the above 3-4 Genera of snakes...it's a fairly safe generalization to make.

Yes, Hypsiglena, Salvadora, Tantilla, and many, many other species are also colubrids. But they are not readily available or easily attainable to the "general public" as a pet.

In other words...if you walk into a pet shop and see it, it probably falls within the three main classifications...Pantherophis, Lampropeltis, and Pituophis. The only real exception to the "standard care" that is readily available in the pet trade would be Thamnophis.

I have a caresheet posted on my website, along with many tips and tricks that should EASILY get you and a Cali settled in together quite nicely. Any other questions, feel free to shoot me a line.
