Lan Fan the Japanese Rat Snake

[MissterDog]

I do want a Vietnamese blue beauty someday, too! Way later, though; they get twice as big as Japanese rat snakes. Fun fact: a German zoo produced offspring between a Japanese rat snake and a Russian rat snake that looked pretty similar to a beauty snake.

She hasn't rattled her tail yet. She either balls up really tight, or tries to dart towards an escape. Most of the time she's running around and looking for an angle to watch me from lol.

Haha Vbb are on my list too! Also going to be a while until I get one but for now I'm just settling on a tattoo of one haha. That hybrid sounds really cool!

I'm so looking forward to more progress pics of your new girl! How are you liking have an active colubrid? I'm not too familiar with japanese rat snakes at all, are they similar in care and size to russian rat snakes?
