Here's a couple of new pics of my Russian rat snake pr.!These guys are extremely laid back and grow fast! The female is the darker aberrant patterned one.She is starting to show some yellow as you can see in the close-up! Jeff

Very nice Jeff. My male is in shed now, but I'll check him out in a few days to see if I can see any yellow. Mine looks like your male. Your female is no doubt darker. Steve

Thanks Steve! I notice it more in the female probably because she is a little larger.Look at the base of the neck and throat! Take care! Jeff

As far as I know they get pretty big! I think up to 8ft. or so! Tim Spuckler would be the man to ask for sure.That's where my little gems came from! Jeff

Those are looking good, Jeff!
Here's a pic of what they looked like while still inside the egg.
To answer monklet's question, they seem to average about five feet in length (but can get longer).
My four-year-olds are about 4-1/2 feet.
