Mandarin rats WILL NOT be the next hot snake. I don't even think a snake will be the next hot reptile. I'm goin with red ear sliders as the next hot reptile. For something to be the next hot pet to happen it already needs to be a hot pet, which ball pythons are. They need to be readily available in HUGE amounts so that it is more likely for morphs to pop up. I think red eared slider turtles have a better chance of being a next hot pet. You can get one set up for under a hundred bucks and they dont hide under a rock all day. Mandarin rats die. Beauty snakes get too big. Boas get to big and you have to feed them too much. Carpets dont have enough morphs. Dwarf retic species will be hot on the pet market before there is another new hot snake. The last thing before ball pythons on the market was leopard geckos. Before that it was corn snakes.
Snakes will take a back seat on the pet trade to other gecko species and other lizards for a while before something new explodes. It's all a part of the cycle.
