By the way, I was serious about the "living snake belt" thing...if you guide them around your waist, they'll loop their tail around their body to hold together as a loop.
And sometimes they'll discover that your belt-loops are great "toe-holds" (the ones that are slender enough to thread thru them- my Florida rat snakes are too big now
for that). I've had a rat snake that remembered belt loops & happily made a point of threading into them time after time.Silly sneks...
The nice thing about rat snakes is that none of this will make them refuse food or insist that it be heated to 100*...(much less "fast")
have any pics of your Florida rats? We saw a few at the recent show that were nice!
yea colubrids are very forgiving and can tolerate Much more it seems. But that’s why I like variety and the challenge of keeping a few different species. Keeps it fun and the mind going. My mandarin rat snake was my first snake as my ball python was on hold for delivery and he’s on the total other spectrum but still a cool snake with minimal requirements
