I must have the oddball Tx. rat

I thought most of these guys had a little bit of an attitude problem. I've had my leucistic going on two weeks and he's pretty laid back. As much or more so then any of my other types of ratsnakes. Not that I'm complaining or anything, LOL
He did have a little more size on him being a late 07 hatch, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.
Maybe this particular line is more calm then others, or it boils down to all snakes are individuals. His siblings are most likely making up for his good behavior. Steve

Hmm, I think you said it. All snakes are individuals, like most other vertebrate animals..

I have a 6'6" WC that's tame. He had been in captivity for a total of 36 hours when I got him and had only been held by two people. I think it's genetic. Yours displays the Gentle Morph. Breed it with another to produce Hets and sell them for $1,000.
