Info on Care of Darwin Carpet Python needed

Thinking of getting a Darwin Carpet Python but there is almost no information on them.

Is there anyone who has kept them and may be able to answer the following:

1. what is the Day night lighting ratio
2. What humidity / temperature
3. What environment (Desert I assume)
4. It is arboreal, semi?
5. Is this a good first snake, are they generally docile
6. What length do adults grow to.

Any suggestions or answers to one, some or all of these will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Edan

1...Id use 14 hrs in summer 10 in autumn and spring and 7 in winter
2...28-32* summer 22-28* spring autumn an 18-20* winter 65% humidity
3...I presume how you set-up the enclosure is a personal choice
4...All snakes will climb.Again personal choice (Id say semi)
5...I would have said yes through my own experiences but after viewing the forums it seems a few people find this species very agressive.
6...Id say they average 1.8 metres or 8 foot

Please realise that this is just my opinion and many may disagree.
Anyway hope it helped some.
