Leucistic Texas Rat...

This girl just glows after a shed. She's a sweetheart too, but a finicky eater. I guess you can't win them all, but I love these snakes!

That is a REALLY nice leucistic for sure!

By looking at her nice body weight, you would never think she is finicky in the least. Heck, as long as she eats enough to continue looking like that, I don't see a real issue.

After all, she didn't get that big and robust from not eating "enough"..LOL!

great lookin animal!

Yeah, thanks. She only eats mid-May thru end of July all year. Really strange. But like you said she's good size, a little under 6ft and 1600 grams.

Yeah, that is pretty odd. She sure does hold her weight well in any case, that is very evident.
