Here are some pics of my ruthveni breeding. They are both het for amel.

My camera isn't cooperating right now, sorry for the not so good pics. I need more light, but I didn't want to disturb them too much.

Thanks for looking

Great looking snakes not much care info/sites on them.I have been thinking of the albino form.What temps do they prefer and do they go off food for a few months,and how are their dispositions overall?

Ruthveni are a higher elevation kingsnake from the Queretaro plateau are in south-eastern Mexico. As such, they are like other mountain kings in that they do better if the background temp is cooler (like not much higher than 78) and the heat pad or basking area is kept less than 84 deg.

They get rather stocky, especially the females. They are easy captives in general. They aren't spastic like most milksnakes but are still somewhat shy. Breeding these guys can be problematic sometimes, requiring a consistently cool brumation.

for low light situations if they aren't moving too much you can just put your camera on a tripod and cranks your shutterspeed way down and that should help with that
