I need some info on rat snakes, my LPS has albino rat snakes for $40, they look to be around 1ft. Is this a good price? They have very pretty markings. Now for my set-up, i have a 20gal. tall aquarium (24"Wx12"Dx16"T) will this be big ehough for now for 1 snake? I have a regular strip light, and an incandescent bulb over it, for heat. What temps, should it be at. They are being fed live crickets now, is that ok. Thanks so much, Dan

Albino rats for 40, if its a black rat, yeah . albino corn, or amel, no, sounds like the pet store has no idea what there doing, They may be feeding them crickets, but most likly there not eating them, and are starving. Pinkies would be best, everything else, sounds good.
