Drizzt80... maaaaaan, that's one beautiful snake!!!!
The issue us the specimen here in Israel are hardly as good looking as yours so...
Also, size-wise, it's a tad too much at current.
Jazz mate, it really does depend on the location. Israel is relatively close to the equator so for such a small piece of land we have many different ecological niches.
We have the desert to the south, the coast line(which is usually hotter and quite humid mostly)
and the Golan Heights which is relatively high and cooler.
I live relatively close to the central coastline so it's humid and rather hot- Brumation-wise it is a pain in the rear, but mostly I find myself without any need for any heating cable or UTH (though I always have'em ready and plug them when they are needed)
So generally speaking, it is a tad easier to maintain proper humidity at most times. The temperature can spike on the summers though, so one needs to keep his eyes peeled for any heating issues.
But as l keep all of my snakes in the house with me (living room), they always enjoy optimal conditions. (I hope they agree)
