New rat snakes... whatcha think?
I just pick this pair up two days ago. They are male (dark) and female (amel). I have no real history on them, I do not know about age, and the female may be gravid.
They have been kept together, so I am going to do the same for now to minimize stress, and then I will separate them. They are a bit freaked out, and think that I am food (they go on hight food response every time I get near/manipulate them - which is minimal right now due to trying to limit stress). The female has shown intent to try for a hand, and the male goes for it relentlessly (if I were slower or less experiences, I would be dunking a snake right now post photo shoot). I really REALLY like them, though! I love their "energy".
I am sure that they are regular run of the mill rat snakes, and I am under no hope that I have something fancy, rare, etc (so do not misread my intentions), I just want to know what it is that I have. Can anyone give me the scientific name/link to more info/etc for the "type/s" that I have?
I am still working on names...
They seem healthy. I am listening hard and watching carefully, though, with the male. He sneezed twice the first night. I have not seen or heard anything since, but I am on alert.

Re: New rat snakes... whatcha think?
Looks like an Anery corn and an amelanistic corn to me. Breeding them would produce double hets for snow, unless one or both are also het snow. In that case you would get some snows. I'd do some Google searches for corn snake care and read up. Corns are usually pretty docile, so I'd first check to make sure their heat isn't too high. They might be rat snakes, though. Rats are usually a little more aggressive than corns. Might be a E. obsoleta spiloides - gray rat snake, and an albino rat or corn.
