Hi Don

If you do get some king rats try to get CB. WC even very young are extremly hard to deal with, it,s very shy secretive snake, fast ,powerfull,and very allert to movement They truly are a hand full. I wouldn't recomend them to most collectors. They are so shy you'll hardly see them for the first few years, once mine got bigger They started comming out more often,But in no way are they good display animals, you do get the odd animal that is ok.

I was keeping mine in an appartment, They just got too large for my situation, I think for you they will be great, they one of the most interesting snakes I'v ever kept. Too me they seem like one of the more aware species or ''smart'' snakes. They are pretty easy to keep but can go off eating for long periods is disturbed too much. They do turn out to be very impresive, I had like a love hate relashonship with mine, I think they taught me more about husbandrey than any others snake I'v kept.
