That Achalinus is an interesting snake. Is it a constrictor? I know the genus is in Japan also.

That king rat was huge. A friend of mine has a near record Emory's ratsnake at about 1150 grams, and I thought that was a big ratsnake...


I wonder how big the record Elaphe carinata is?

I was stationed in Bangkok for over a year when I was in the army. There were a lot of feral cats and rats, etc, running around in the allies, etc. I imagine there were some large snakes too, such as the various pythons. I never saw a python, but I did see a big king cobra just outside of the city. I'm not sure about ratsnakes, but there could have been some radiated rats around. I was mostly interested in the water snakes, and was much younger then, and very inexperienced.

I hope you realize your dream of living in SA. That's a great idea of having a farm there, and I hope you stay in touch. I'm interested in getting to spend some time in Arizona and Texas and looking for some of my favorite herps. Of course, there's lots of ratsnakes and kingsnakes, but there's also lots of pit vipers, and various kinds of lizards, etc. Hours and hours of fun ahead...LOL!


Looking forward to Spring already...
