Somebody on LJ just got a pair of these gorgeous rats, and I had to link to it! Beautiful and rare find!

EDIT: Actually, I'm not entirely sure they're technically ratsnakes. Definitely colubrids though!

Yup I've never seen anything like those before till she posted about them!

The book I have calls them red headed rats, but I think it's pretty out of date, lol. Beautiful snakes and very hard to care for! Asian rats are amazing. Nice big size without being really bulky, and just spectacular coloring.

That's Brie from deviantart isn't it? I looooooooooooooove her photographs! Awesome looking snakes too, and their pattern does remind me of ratsnakes.

Very cool and pricey too!!! There was a reverse trio 2.1 for 900$ on kingsnake!!!

Very well could be, Rapture! She posts some gorgeous stuff on LJ, so I wouldn't be surprised! That pair are in good hands, I bet they'll thrive with her!

And yeah, wow! $900 is a lot to spend on a snake with that high a mortality rate to me, but man... if it all works out, SO worth it. Just gorgeous.
