If you like the yellows/golden colors, you might prefer the Taiwan Beauty rat snakes, as I do. Much the same snake (size, markings & temperament-wise), just from another area that evolved slightly different coloration. (I used to keep some Taiwan Beauties--they get big too, but when you get them as hatchlings & work with them, I didn't find them to be very nippy- just restless, more like a "racer" than a rat snake.)
