Uncommon/Underrated Snakes?

[Bogertophis]

Very cool. I think there is def a Spotted in my future.

Mine is a "granite phase" (not that it matters); I actually like the normal patterns better, but it didn't make a bit of difference to me, mine was a yearling "rescue".*
The granite phase is more of a dark greenish color with speckling, and very nice iridescence. She's smaller than many adult corn snakes.

*She had refused to make kills (pinky mice!) & the breeder was so annoyed he talked about sticking her in the freezer, & he wasn't kidding. I mention this so you know
that as hatchlings in the wild, these start off on lizards, & only later get brave enough to tackle small mice. Though I suggest people don't feed new snakes until they
settle in, in all honesty, the very afternoon she arrived (shipped) I could tell she was very hungry, so I didn't follow my own advice, lol. She ate 3 f/t pinkies quickly &
would have taken more but I didn't allow her to...THEN I let her settle in quietly to rest & digest. She has never refused food & has a strong response, as if killing it...
to my mind, she's a perfect pet. In 10 years, I've only had one accidental nip from her, my fault for not identifying my hand as not incoming food. She's usually in "food
mode" lol, but she's done public meet & greets to perfection, as do all my rat snakes. No bad behavior, they "change channels" very well, in my only experience w/ these.

She needs warmer cage temps. compared to my rat snakes, but nothing at all difficult. She uses UTH and basking heat both, & I don't bother to humidify her cage, I just
give her a humid hide at all times, which she uses often. (it's half-heated by the UTH also) I like that these climb & you see them out, not hiding like BPs often do. That's
also why I like rat snakes so much...they're more active so you see them in action.
