Wow! That is a whopper, Todd. If you still have that snake I'd love to see a pic. Also, he might be good starter stock for folks who want to keep the largest of the guttatus group. I would be tempted, but am not set up for it. I'm concentrating on keeping the smaller snakes. I'd get some stats on him, like official weight and length, etc, if I was going to work with that snake and try to make a more robust line, and then use that to promote it. Just something to think about. Good luck and keep us posted. Thanks...

PS: That doesn't sound much like a Great Plains rat. I've never heard of a G.P. rat over 5 ft. before. What d'ya thin? heheh...





>>I got one male that is missing his tail end that is from above Mathis. he is just over 5'. He is an old timer that retained an eyecap ages ago and is blind in that eye. I found him at the very bottom of a tin pile with a family of cotton rats. No doubt he'd had his share! This is bar none the biggest southwestern rat I've seen let alone found. Wish I had a pic of him. He's a bruiser but not a biter. Some of my g.p.'s are nasty tempered!
