    Ah that's a long drive! Yeah, better to wait until you're moved then.

    Oh please start a thread on your Russian Rat Snake! I am very interested in them, but am new to snakes and worried they are more than a beginner should take on. They seem like they're full of personality and sweetness, I want to learn as much as I can about them.

    Congratulations on all your cool new kids!

    I 100% definitely will, especially since I'm getting a hatchling! It will be fun to watch the color change as he grows. And actually, you can totally jump in on this clutch if you want- Russian Rat Snakes are notoriously EASY to care for beginners, even easier than corn snakes, since they live in such a wide range of regions and climates and are extremely adaptable. They're like the red-eared slider of snakes.

    I think the only reason why they aren't more popular or well-known as a beginner's snake is because they grow sort of large for a colubrid and don't look flashy as hatchlings (just a dull greybrown LOL). Otherwise yeah, they're full of personality and GREAT beginner snakes!

    Funny story - I reached out to Zerkles a couple of days ago, based on this thread, just to get some more information on Russian Rat Snakes. There's not a ton on the webs, and Youtube is hit & miss on their husbandry requirements. Anyway, they PM'd me today several times asking for my address and phone number for the shipping label. I was like, "whoa - i know I'm dreaming about this snake, did i sleepwalk and order one unbeknownst to my conscious self???" I let them know there must be a mix-up, and they figured it out and said wrong girl, this guy is for Fiona.

    I'm assuming you are that Fiona. I almost got your snek!!

    Whaaat! I am indeed that Fiona. That's a crazy mix up omg! What's going on over there with them LOL, imagine someone sleazy just tells them their shipping address and they ship out a paid snake to a different person. I mean I guess I would still get a refund, but dang!

    Yeah, I don't think there is anything too specific on their husbandry out there, because they are so adaptable- so there just is a wide range of temps they are comfortable with.

    Yeah, at first I thought they were messing with me since I was asking them questions - like "ok lady, your snake's in the mail!". But after a few jokes back to them I realized they were seriously trying to mail me somebody's snake. When they mentioned Fiona, I knew it was you from your artwork. Too crazy! I told them you were responsible for bringing me to their site from a thread on this forum, but said I didn't think our relationship extended to you being cool with me getting your snake!

    Good thing I wasn't some shady creep, though. Otherwise that could have been awful.

    They are hard to find. Ken Foose briefly listed some on Kingsnake.com. I almost bought one. Opted for the Trans-pecos instead. Will check the Zerkle site just out of curiosity.
