I have been keeping snakes for 26 years now. I did pythons, vipers, Crotalids, Elapids, Corns, Pines, Milks, Kings (AO), and now I'm a Pantherophis obsoletus specialist. My favourites are the North Carolina Greenish Ratsnake, White Oak Grey Ratsnake, and true Everglades Ratsnake. Actually, I'm partial to all races of Pantherophis (Elaphe / Pituophis / Scotophis / whatever) obsoletus.

Don't ask me why, LOL. Maybe it's geographical variability, I've always been fascinated by that. All I can say is that these among the easiest and most forgiving colubrids out there. On top of that, truckloads of personality, great feeding response, great attitude... Oh, did I mention they're beautiful?
