Well I wanna get experiance under my bely because I hear pythons are trickier. But I love the Look That GTP's and ATB's Have The rainbow boas to. PLus I like that they are fiesty. Still I wanna wait a few years and really know what I am doing. Work with The Colubrids I love, then move on to balls. Then plot my course from there.


Thanks! I have been looking over the site alot today and you guys have filled it with great info. I have 4 Asian Ratsnakes on the top of my to get list and I'm hoping someone can point me to Caresheets or First had experiances with them.

Rhino Ratsnake ((Rhinoceros Ratsnake))
Thai Red Mountain Ratsnake
Chinese Red Bamboo Ratsnake
Mandarin Ratsnake

I should probably start with a few Corns and a king. King in his own cage of course, but I just love love love those 4 ratsnakes in all the pictures and videos I have seen. So I'm torn.


The Herp room is a slow moving project but it's making headway. It was just an abandoned garage seperate from the house. So You know, gotta wire insulate, cover the garage doors, probably get a ceiling and new windows to. Lotta DIY work on the weekends but it will pay off when my little guys are happy (And away from the cats and TV which I doubt they will be nuts about).

Ratsnakes are usually not too finicky about husbandry, and so long as you have a heat source with an 77-80F ambient and a warm side of about 85F you should be good.
Also, aspen bedding is good, tubs and tanks are also good. I don't recommend keeping more than one snake in an enclosure, no matter what the species.
I would keep humidity at a 50-60% range and you'd be set. I would see if you can do some searches for those specific species and see if they need any other heat specifications or anything else like that.

Good luck!
