Hi guys!

I was in the reptile store, browsing around, not really looking for any new additions - until I came across the red tailed green rat snake. Most beautiful snake I have ever seen for under a thousand dollars! I've never seen these guys before, so I went home and did some research....

Does anyone have any experience with these guys? Everything says only for ADVANCED (big flashing red letters) keepers, but as far as I can tell, it's only because of the unpredictable nature, ie: I might (read: will) get bitten. I've got a ball python right now, have owned a corn in the past, and have worked w other larger snakes professionally (including a large albino rat snake). I've got a good deal of experience, and have read body language well enough in the past that I've only been tagged by the little whippy baby corns.

So, is this a good snake at my level of experience, or am I missing some critical info which might make me change my mind?

Thanks for any help!

Amanda
