hey, i have been looking into possibly getting another snake and i discovered the russian rat snake while looking on google and i'd like to learn more as there isn't realy any infomation on them. like i've heard they are easy to care for and i docile but how are they compared to north american colubrids (primairily the species i've kept before corns milks and kings)and where is a good place to find CB juveniles in the states and what should i expect to pay for one

The russian rat is an excellent snake for captivity. They're about as big as a north american rat. They're diurnal and alert for most of the year. They tend to be good feeders (there are of course always exceptions). Many are good about being handled and not particularly skittish. Relatively easy to breed.
Finding them is hit or miss. I no longer have a breeding pair.
Possibly they'll pop up on the classifieds soon. Price is what you'll pay. Figure 50 - 100 each. Good luck
Regards
John
