I'm currently raising two Baird's Ratsnakes and let me just say that they are rather interesting snakes. The most interesting part about their care is trying to regulate humidity to be honest, the foremost breeder out there Tim Ghebhard from Vivid Reptiles supplies a caresheet recommends that hatchlings actually be kept at 90-100% humidity. They seem like they are dry loving snakes when you look at where they come from but in reality they spend most of their time in much more humid situations. I've had success with humid hides and misting to resolve this issue. They truly are some of the most docile snakes you can get, only the female has ever tried to bite and even then it was as a hatchling who hadn't been held much yet.

They readily feed as well which can be a welcome lack of stress for some ball python people who are used to the stress of a snake going off feed.

So far I've truly enjoyed keeping this species. You can see my set ups a little bit down on the rat snake page.
