There was a strand on this a little while back. I'll post a link.
There's a lot of cool small ratsnakes, mostly miniature Eurasian rats, like the bimaculata, dione, situla, and conspicillata. There's also a few from south and southeast Asia and North America. Most N.A. rats are medium to large, but a few can be smaller. Some of the forms of guttatus/emoryi/meahllmorum complex can be smallish. My Western Emory's rats don't exceed 36 inches. The AZ green ratsnake is fairly small. Some of these make good pets and are easy to handle and others are much more problematical. Members of the guttatus and dione groups are the easiest to care for and make the best pets. They aren't necessarily the smallest, however, and others may be even more interesting for one reason or another. Good luck...
