>>Nice snakes....and you are right in that they behave differently than other N. American Ratsnakes. To me they seem to have a certain intelligence about them that many snakes do not exhibit...when I walk in my snake room they often come out of there hiding boxes to check you out, but not in "I'm hungry way" that many snakes do. For example, while I was taking this photo, this guy seems to be turning his head and thinking "what is this all about".

Nice looking S. t. intermedia, John.

I agree about their intelligence, or at least awareness, and have seen my pair watching me too. They are as aware as my Chinese Beauties, without the racer-like flightiness.
