Cave Dwelling Rat Snakes. Tell me about them.. Show Me Yours!!!

I was thinking for last couple of Years to get one... and Finally this spring gonna get one for sure.

I will really Appreciate any suggestion for enclosure husbandry and general description of behavior and temperament of YOUR CDR's!!!

Pictures welcome !!! (Snakes, Enclosures etc.)

So... Tell me about them Show them to me as well !!!!!

I would also like to know more about these guys!! I just found out about them a couple days ago, and if I can find one I'd like it to be my next snake. They are just absolutely beautiful :D From what I could find with just a basic google search, they are pretty similar to most other rats and corns, around 82-85 warm side, 72-75 cool side. They just need a little more humidity, closer to 60%, are more arboreal, and grow to be pretty large I guess.

Did you ever get one? I'd really like to find out if anyone here does or has ever kept them and what your experience was like!! Also, does anyone know of any good breeders??? I couldn't find anything on kingsnake or fauna.

Unfortunately not Yet... My plans changed (financial reasons) but I sill want one...
Check Fauna they have them time to time.... You can always contact BHB I know Brian works with few pairs and even if he don't have them for sale on his web page You can always call or email them and if he have available animal you can make a deal...

They are real beautiful snake especially when They little bit darker like silver-blueish.. but for adult big enclosure is necessary...They are slender.. buy loooong snakes

good luck with finding one.. and if You get it post a Picture please :cool:

Cool, thanks for the suggestions!! And believe me, I will definitely be posting pics when I get one :D The one breeder I already contacted said they won't have more until around August anyway, but I'm really excited... gives me a chance to save up more money. Now how much do they normally go for? The few prices I managed to find were anywhere from $175 to $225, which really isn't too bad considering how gorgeous of a snake it is, but I was just wondering.

Like most of Beauty Rat Snakes depend on Quality and size 150-300 $..
I was thinking About Blue Beauty as well but I've read somewhere that CDR's are just a little bit more good behaving :P
