I love mine. The ones I have are about a year and a half old. My yellow rats are much older and bigger. My yellows are more calm when holding them. But that can be because of their age. I would start off with young ones. They can get big 6ft plus. That depends on how much and what you feed them. I prefer not to over feed. I keep my room temp 75 day and 72 night. With heat tape under one part of the enclosure at 85. They love to climb. Also you maywant to consider a nice yelow rat. They seem to like being with other rat snakes. I never have problems. I just feed them seperate. They like humidity. I give mine a bathe when they shed becase my humidity is a little low. If you use cypress and spray 2 times a week, the snakes will love it.Cheers Greg
