Well...I only have limited experience with one Asian ratsnake, so probably shouldn't even be responding to this question, but I have to put in a vote for the Kunishir Island ratsnakes...I have no idea why they are not more popular...absolutely gorgeous coloring (an almost metallic "beetle wing" green on the anterior half, fading to a pale turquoise and brown on the posterior), hardy, very alert and visually responsive, very tame and easily handled (seem to be a little more active and intense than a corn when in hand, but still easy)...I have found specific information on them rather hard to come by, but what I have found indicates they get to be between 4-5', rarely 6'...love to climb, and active during the day...great display animals...mine will drape himself over his branches and bask under a light bulb like a lizard...Like I said, I can't imagine why they're not more popular...definitely give this one some thought.
