I am interested in mandarin rat snakes. We don't see them offered in our area, and have only seen them on the internet. I have a few questions about them though.



What is their average and maximum adult lengths?

What kind of temperment do they have?

What kind of husbandry techniques are called for?

Do they go through a hibernation period?

If you breed a pair, what kind of clutch sizes are to be expected?



Any other useful information would be appreciated on top of this if it's not too much trouble. I think these are a very beautiful species, and am studying up on them for the future, hoping to acquire some at a point in the next year or two.



Thanks.
