I've seen them on a breeder's website, and I agree that they are very nice. The morph looks like it is similar/related to calico, with less markings and of course, the nice platinum ground color.

The snake or the girl? Snake = most definately, girl = possible!

BTW, look below at your post on emoryi. I have a rat snake type for a racer nut! Also, there are other Asian rat racers which fit the wild and fast bill: Elaphe (Coelognathus) helena and radiata to name a couple of them.

Speaking of racers, here's a Coluber constrictor oaxaca.

No, unfortunately I only got two healthy babies from my Chinese beauties this summer, so far, and they are not for sale. Also, I don't have the oaxaca any more. I was not trying to make a sale, just suggesting rat snakes that are racer-like. There are lots of beauty snakes (taeniurus)in the classifieds. Radiated rats (radiata) and trinkets (helena)are not too uncommon either.

That is truly one of the best shots of a really cool snake I have ever seen. I would vote that as a winner of a photo contest in a minute. That is really unusual to catch a snake coming up out of the substrate in a pose like that. Randy W.

Sorry, maybe I'll try keeping them again some day. They are very common in my part of South Texas. Pretty interesting little racers too, with a maximum length of about 40 inches.
