>>Been re-reading Bartlet's Rat Snakes book and been admiring the Mexican form of the Bairds in there with a gray head and orange body Is anyone working with them? if so do you have pics you can share? Any info would be great. I don't have room for them at the moment, but they seem really cool!!! Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!


Don't keep them anymore, but they're great somewhat skiddish snakes that need a lot of room and lots of food. IMO, they would do much better in a realistic "rock wall" vivarium than sitting on aspen all the time -- they're just really active for ratsnakes, and they would love to climb if given the chance. They never bite out of aggression, in my experience.
