Redshepherd,

I may have mentioned it earlier (or you may have come across it before), have a look at the DMexotics Reptile Reality videos by Dan Mulleary (spell?). Another member mentioned that YouTube channel here about a week ago (thanks to who ever that was). His snakes are some of the more unusual species. I agree about the beauty rat snakes, and the red tail snake...I also really like the yellow tail Cribo. He also features a striking snake (cyano-something?) that is long and very thin, with big nobby head. It starts out reddish brown, and matures to a gorgeous blueish green.

I have also heard that Russian ratsnakes are alert, fast, and entertaining to watch.
