thinking about getting a ratsnake

i've been thinking about gettibg a ratsnake for myself since my wife stole my bp`s lol (inside joke ). but anyways how are ratsnakes from ball pythons?

can anyone give me good links to different morphs and goolinks to care sheets etc.

thanks

Not sure if there are any morphs of ratsnakes outside of albino or leucistic. There are many species of ratsnake which cover a broad array of sizes, colors, and temperaments. I highly recommend them as I have 2 and regularly care for a 3rd. The cornsnake care sheet located in the care sheet section gives a good general description of how a ratsnake can be kept as well.

Pcstures of my 2 can be found in this thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...yrate%27s+pets



If you're asking ALL the differences between a BP and ratsnake then I would tell you to research it yourself because the list is very long. A couple threads down is someone asking specifically about a Lucy Texas Ratsnake. If you would like specific questions answered about personality or whatnot, I'd be happy to discuss. But the amount of information you are asking could fill a small dictionary.

It all really depends on the species of ratsnake. There are many different species of ratsnakes. I'm in love with the Old World Ratsnakes. They are beautiful animals.

I have a Thai Bamboo Ratsnake and she is extremely different from my ball pythons.

Her temperature requirements are cooler. She's always in a "always on the go" mode when handling. She's a bit of a spazz, lightning quick, and isn't as tame as my ball pythons.

One of the better ratsnake info sites and caresheets that I've seen.

Thanks I'll read up on it.
