    Leucistic Texas Rat

    Getting some interest in Leucistic Texas Rats. So, I have a few questions...

    What's a realistic average size these snakes get? Specifically a female.

    Temperament... I hear they're quite feisty... are they a little better as they get bigger? And, how bad is the bite?

    Their temp and humidity requirements?

    Are they considered "fast" snakes?

    Thank you.

    haha... yea, I think the "lightning fast" detail might keep me away for now, then. The wife is gradually becoming more and more tolerant of the idea of adding more snakes. I'd hate to spew the words, "CRAP... Whitey just got away!"

    Guy had a few babies for sale on FB, $150/females, and they looked so beautiful... that beautiful white, would of been a great contrast to my MBK.
