Very nice. Tans are a cool scrub.

thanks! They are cool. Totally a mainland scrub in a tiny body. LOL

Oh please start a thread on your Russian Rat Snake! I am very interested in them, but am new to snakes and worried they are more than a beginner should take on. They seem like they're full of personality and sweetness, I want to learn as much as I can about them.

Congratulations on all your cool new kids!

I 100% definitely will, especially since I'm getting a hatchling! It will be fun to watch the color change as he grows. And actually, you can totally jump in on this clutch if you want- Russian Rat Snakes are notoriously EASY to care for beginners, even easier than corn snakes, since they live in such a wide range of regions and climates and are extremely adaptable. They're like the red-eared slider of snakes.

I think the only reason why they aren't more popular or well-known as a beginner's snake is because they grow sort of large for a colubrid and don't look flashy as hatchlings (just a dull greybrown LOL). Otherwise yeah, they're full of personality and GREAT beginner snakes!

What an amazing animal red! Grats, and i don't know how i missed all this but i am glad i caught up. You really took everything to the next level with grace and superiority.

Thanks for looking through all the posts Al! "Grace and superiority", gee I'm flattered lol!
