Shane, looks like a pretty good constrictor to me. Maybe they just don't eat rodents much.

It's interesting that you compared them to kingsnakes. I always find myself comparing Mandarins to kingsnakes.

I've also wondered for a long time what subfamily they would fit into. Obviously, folks have not considered them to be ratsnakes, probably not even Colubrinae. I don't think they are Natricine. Maybe they are Boigine or that African subfamily, related to wolf snakes. Anyway, interesting snakes, and pretty successful as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the post and comments.

Terry
