The setup for these guys is similar to a corn setup. Probably the biggest diference is they require much lower humidity (25% or under). You also may want to keep them a little warmer than a corn (78-88 with a gradient). I usually water mine once a week when feeding and leave the water dish in overnight then remove in the morning to reduce ambient humidity.

There is a market for them, but it won't be a huge moneymaker. You should be able to sell any babies you produce for $30-75 pretty easily.

They are a great pick and I wish you luck with them.

>>Hi all, I am looking for general care info on the Trans Peco.. Have friend that has a breeding pair and I think they are gorgeous!!! Very interested in getting one or more babies this year...

>>

>>I have only dealt with corns, so do not know much about rats.. but these guys seem very nice for ratsnakes. Is their care pretty much standard colubrid setup?? Anything special?? And is there much of a market for them?? I do not wish to breed if not much interest in them.. (Still plan on getting a pair though)..
