I agree. They are real smart and somewhat form an understanding with their keeper. Like I said in another post they are real similar to the behavior of a captive raised cobra, only MUCH safer, and more forgiving. I have a few tiger carpet pythons, and as pretty as they are; they are not too smart. I like them alot. But to me the ratsnakes are the Bomb! They actually recognize their keeper and if you work with them enough you can read the "mood" they are in. Just go for it and get one you will love them. And you will be able to gauge how much food it eats. If you have other snakes it will be no problem.
