I picked up a pair at Hamburg Pa a few years back as Japanese rats. They we're small but showed promise to have good color later on. I didn't know much about them at the time and at $180 for the pair it was an impulse buy, but one that has turned out to be one of my happier aqusitions.

They have amazing color now and are definitely Kunashir rats. They are easy to keep, calm and never ever bite.

I keep mine on the top shelf in my snake room with 4" heat tape running under the tank set at 95 degrees and the ambient room temp hovering between 75-78 degrees.

They are doing great this way. As they are the size of the average adult corn now I'm hopeing to have them breed this upcomming spring. I would recommend these snakes to anyone for beauty and ease to keep. As easy as a corn and maybe more gentle.

Mike.
