GOSH this is the biggest difference so far! Way more frequently than I'm used to and TINY. I thought they were mini chocolate chips at first haha. ONLY SMALLER :O

She's been an absolute joy yes! Thank you :)

Going into shed for the first time with me :)

Impressive little slithering bugger!
Hope you end up breeding her someday, so she can reproduce more pets for more keepers on the waiting list!

First shed plus close-ups of her tiny little face! Notice her silver lipstick :P

The "silver lipstick" is a very nice touch...:buttercup (but I'm a really easy "sell" for any & all rat snakes, lol)

Haha right? I didn't even notice she had it at first but it makes her even more charming :p I'm very curious to see if she'll still have it when she's older or if it will fade away like her stripes.

Rat snakes are wonderful! Definitely an underrated species that I'm totally getting more and more into.

I admit it. I'm soooooooooooooooooooo jealous !!!!

What a Beauty, oh wow. And so dark already at that age.
Everyone needs at least one Russian Ratsnake :)

Big congratulations, you will have a FUN and PERSONABLE snake buddy for a long time to come..

Thank you!! I have you to thank for getting me into russian ratsnakes :P Haha I agree, they are such fun snakes to have! She's still a bit shy around me but her curiosity seems to get the best of her and I often see her keeping tabs on me haha. I can only imagine she's going to get even bolder when she's older :P And oh boy, what an appetite! Not a shy eater at all!

Her darks are really stunning! I'm really mesmerized how gorgeous melanistics are! You can see just how dark she is compared to one of her normal siblings. It will be very fascinating to watch her appearance change as she grows!
