I used to raise Taiwan Beauty rat snakes...they ARE beautiful & they can get quite large (9' in some cases), coupled with being fairly active snakes. When
raised from hatchlings, they are nice to handle (without bites). They feed eagerly on f/t rodents. There's a recent thread here about a Blue Beauty rat snake...
these are very close cousins. I cannot imagine trying to handle a wild one!Fortunately these are easily captive-bred, & hatchlings are quite large. They are
semi-arboreal, so a huge cage with branches (or trees) would be really awesome. Maybe you could convert your bathroom...you don't really need that do ya?
