Posted by: anuraanman at Tue Sep 22 12:36:05 2009 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by anuraanman ] I'm personally a fan of Texas Ratsnakes, especially leucistic ones (solid ivory white with black eyes). They can have a bit of attitude when young or as adults if they are not handled often. I also really like Black Milksnakes which start off as a typical tri-colored variety but turn jet black within a couple years and can get up to 6 feet or so in length. Black Milks are also sort of strange in that they do not have the same heating requirements as other colubrids -- they need to be kept cool, below 80 degrees, otherwise they stress out. I don't provide any heat to my black milk except a heat pad under one end of the tank during winter with a thermostat set to 79F. Most people don't heat black milks at all and if temps get too cool in the winter then they just brumate them for a few months and take them back out when indoor temps are back up above 70. | ||
