You can also search under Kunashiri Island Rat snake, Kunashir Island Rat snake, Japanese Rat snake - those are all common names. I got one last year and she's been very easy to care for, in my opinion. I keep her with a hot spot of 82 and a cool side of 74-72. She's eaten f/t mice (pinks to small hoppers at this point) from day one. Mine is a little jumpy which is what I expect from young snakes, though she hasn't attempted to bite yet.



Here's a pic on her day of arrival... they're grey/brown as juveniles and color up as they get older to more of a blue/green.
