Do you all think its a rat snake? Where are all the
questions and pics of them?
Does anyone work with them?

thanks - dme

Yes, they're Ratsnakes(Elaphe flavirufa). Do a "google" search, and you'll find several people who work with them, and pics. They just aren't that popular in the hobby for some reason.

Thanks Doug. All are flavirufa flavirufa as far as I know. My regular colored ones I bought as hatchlings from someone whos name I dont know and the anerys came second hand from names unknow also. My regulars produce yearly like clockwork. They lay huge eggs but small clutches. My adults are 5+ ft. I'm breeding the anerys for the first time this year. The babies pictured are a clutch from last season. Randy W.

Thanks for the info Randy!,.....good luck with the anery project, bet you look forward to producing some of those in the future!
