    texas rat snake
    i was wondering if anyone had a nice "accurite" caresheet for texas rat snakes. i found a lovely leucistic texas rat snake yearling and i am thinking about picking her up, but want to get some info first. anyone with one please give me some info. i would like to keep her in my rack, but which rack is the question... i have a rack for king and corn snakes and one for bps, so which would would be good for her. i imagine with the corns since corns are actually rat snakes. but i didn't know if being in texas then needed it alittle warmer.

    also she is young and is a pinkish color. are all leucistics like this then turn white? if anyone has any pictures they could share would be soooo nice.

    thanks all.

    My LTR is turning white about now. She's about a year old. Don't have any pics yet. She eats like a pig, never misses a meal. Very active next to my bp's and I think she is adorable.:) I keep her in the same temps and setup as my corn. A little cooler than the bp's.

    LTR's are colubrids as are corn snakes. They can be kept at the same temperature ranges as your corn snakes. Keep in mind that many LTR's have a tendency to have "bug eyes". This trait is typically undesirable and considered a genetic flaw.
    Now all we need are some pics.
