Very nice. It's amazing how they change from hatchlings to yearlings on through adulthood. I just received my first Ratsnake (Bairdi), so I know mine is going to go through some serious changes herself. Your glades Rat is coloring up nice, should be a very nice orange as adult. So between your ratsnakes, the glades, the yellow, which is the more feisty between the two? Or are they both pretty mellow? Anyway, very nice snakes Brain. Take care,

Thanks.
They both are the typical jumpy hatchlings, but are pretty mellow otherwise. The yellow rat is a little more feisty when it comes to feeding, but other than that, both pretty even on the temperament.

Your Bairdi will go through some really cool color changes. They are the most variable rat snake and end up with some cool colors.

Good luck with yours!
