    *NEW* Female Thai Bamboo Rat!!

    She's a female Thai Bamboo Ratsnake (Oreocryptophis porphyraceus coxi).

    I picked her up at the Sacramento show not to long ago. I went to the show to look for one specifically. No one had one. I was starting to get bummed out. And then I went to the last vendor left and they had exactly one. One female. Bought her without a thought. (Not to mention I couldn't find any breeders online and this last vendor happened to be friends of mine coincidentally).

    In her little deli cup:



    Going into shed and she still looks awesome!






    The New World colubrids have never impressed me much, but Old World colubrids are amazing! They are gorgeous beautiful animals. This girl is my first non-ball Python purchase, but I definitely plan on expanding my old world colubrid collection in the future.

    Absolutely gorgeous! Congrats on finding such an uncommonly kept snake. I'm with you on the old-world rat snakes. I don't know why they aren't more popular because they are so stunning. I plan on having a few one of these days!

    *uncommonly kept snake in the US* these guys actually became quite popular and common in the european market. In fact, you can pick up a Coxi in Germany for less than 75 USD, (50 euros) while people like Prehistoric Pets among other breeders in the US, sell them for 200-300 each. The price keeps going down in Germany in fact, due to the demand going down because they are quite common in captivity there.

    Great snake though! Love coxi's!
