Thanks for checking her out! :sweeet:

She had that tongue going a mile a minute, didn't she!! ^_^ She a nice lookin girl!

WOW! She looks like she's made of steel. I love the color.

very nice looking snake.. and just adore the name.

Sushi looks great!!


I picked up a pair this past year and can't wait for them to get bigger!

What a gorgeous color!

Beautiful snake! :)

Sushi is such a cool name! I really like all the pics but I think the last one is my fav! She has such great colour! ;) :rockon:

She's AMAZING-looking! She looks like she's made out of metal--pewter or steel. Simply gorgeous! Congrats! And Sushi's a great name :)

Wow she is gorgeous.. and I love the name! Her color reminds me of mackerel sushi. :P

Wow... looks like liquid metal.

What a looker!! I love Japanese rats! (me? Into Asian ratsnakes? I know, what a shocker) :P Dang it, I may be extending my wishlist... what's her size and temperment like? So beautiful! :love:

What a beautiful snake!

I just keep looking at her again! She is so pretty. I don't think I really know much about these guys....how big do they get?

She is a great animal. Always out during the day in her enclosure. She is very docile. Not head shy at all. She will whip her tail, like most rats when you reach for her. Hehe, she thinks she is a badass rattle snake. But she has never struck at me and is content to be held, even by children. I believe her to be a Kunashir Island Ratsnake (E. climacophora). Thanks for all the complements. She is a great animal. I would highly recomend the Japanese rats to anyone! :w00t:

The color is amazing and it makes me wonder if you got a 3 males and say 9 females and did some selective breeding how far could you push it. Seems like a really underated snake in the current market.

Of course it won't be me, I am already buying enough food from rodentpro a month that they should give me some stock in the opperation!

I really did get a hand written Christmas card from them last year! :)

Hi, Sushi! I eat them everyday! a joke!
I am Japanese and a new member here.
I got a male hetero japanese rat snake and a female albino one.
I am planning to breed them some day.

Yours is fab, very silver metal! Just stunning!

Allow me to stick my albino one here! :P

Wow....excellent pictures of an amazing snake!

I have officially added a pair of these to my wishlist. We wants it, preciousss. ;) So beautiful!

And welcome, Golgo!

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but Sushi is gorgeous!

And welcome Golgo! Your rat is also very handsome!

That has to be the coolest snake I've ever seen.

I've never seen a snake like that before its very pretty!

Def. a gorgeous snake. Most of the other pics I've seen of the Japanese rats have shown snakes that were more of a green colour. Love the metallic blue appearance. Maybe you lucked out? Either way, nice looking snake;)

I was told that males go blueish , females remain greenish ?


Apologies for bumping an old thread but I felt it warranted it
