Don:
I'm really glad Shane started this thread. This is one of the most interesting threads I've read in a very long time. We get people on here from the US and even a few from Europe. Recently I've seen a few folks from Taiwan and Southeast Asia on here. We had a post a little while ago from a fellow visiting the Philipines who had a nice photo of a Coelognathus species he'd field photo'd.

And now someone in Korea can comment on one of the few ratsnakes that nobody ever hears about. Recently I posted a photo of a hatchling schrencki and Shane posted a photo of a Gloydius to note the similarity in pattern. Then Shane posts a question about davidi and you post photos of Gloydius to comment on it. Definitely good to hear some new info around here.

I'm interested in mandarina and other asian ratsnakes. Most of my information comes from Schulz's book because that really is about the extent of info out there. I never see anyone posting anything from China (well we used to get some messages from a few animal dealers in Hong Kong). The Chinese would be the ones to answer alot of the questions about mandarina, moellendorfi and several other interesting species. It's good to see that there are a few people interested in herps who are actually located in Asia (either permanently or periodically) and can communicate with us here on this forum.

Best regards
John
