    Yep! They are Red Tail Green Rats (Gonyosoma oxycephala), some people refer to them as Red Tail Racers.

    Wild caught specimens can be pretty fragile, but Captive Born animals do fairly well. Just make sure not to overheat them.

    Beautiful animal by the way!

    Beautiful snake. Those scales look like they're all edged in silver!

    Yep, it's a red tail, and a very pretty one at that.

    Have you ever noticed them digging around or burrowing their heads underground?
