    Large Colubrids that do well in a rack?
    I'm looking for some large 8 ft+ colubrids that could do well in a rack system, as the title states.

    So far these are the ones I have come up with:
    Masticophis flagellum (Coachwhip)
    Masticophis mentovarius
    Elaphe carinata (King Rat)
    Orthriophis taeniurus callicyanous (Vietnamese Blue Beauties)
    Orthriophis taeniura
    Coluber jugulars
    Ptyas carinatus (Keelback)
    Pseustes sulphureus
    Gonyosoma oxycephalum

    I'm not sure if the ones I mentioned will do well in a rack system, but any comments would be well appreciated! Also don't know if any of these are reg. found in the hobby either. Other than that, please chip in if you can, thanks!

    Scratch this, I'll be keeping them in enclosures when I do get them, it'd be better for them and better for my viewing pleasure (b'-')b

    I agree the display enclosures will look a lot better.

    Re: Large Colubrids that do well in a rack?
    The guys are right. Colubrids are active snakes and want / need to crawl around a lot. It would be the same if you'll put a hyperactive guy in a square meter room. It would be mean to the snakes.

    Why don't you keep them in nicely display enclosures?

    It's a big difference to watch the attractive snakes moving around, as only to know that there is a nice snake in the rack.

    Cheers and greetz from Germany. 😎
