I snapped it this morning when I was checking on him. I love the little stripe across his eyes. (It reminds me of Zorro) These little ones are so cute.
Thanks for looking.

So, will that be his name, then? Zorro? VERY nice looking snake. How could you pass him up? Can't wait to see this year's babies. I usually wind up with a few.

Lyger....from the Zoids cartoon. Although I would have preferred Zorro. (LOL) You are right, I couldn't pass this little one up. I will probably be buying more snakes from Peter in the future also. He really is a great guy, and he is one of the only people at the local shows who sells the kind of snakes that I am looking for.

is that an emorys rat snake? some of the ones i saw at pet co before didnt have much coloration. guess it varies from snake to snake. I live in state where I cannont have cornsnakes and that state is Ga. what rat snake is closest to a corn snake in coloration?
i like the emorys. but I plan on moving after college to Florida where I can have cornsnakes.

It's a normal colored Texas ratsnake. I assume that corns are not allowed in Ga because they are native species. If that's the rule on all native Ga snakes, you might want to consider a Texas ratsnake, since many of the other North American Ratsnakes seem to include Ga in their ranges. Also, the Texas rat keeps the pattern into adulthood, wheras some of the others lose it.
Great snakes. Can be a little feistier than corns as babies, but most will calm down pretty well with proper handling. Also they get a foot or two bigger than corns, as do many of the other N. AM rats. Duffy

Some of the laws in Ga I belive was written by crack heads lol
is a texas rat the same thing as a bairds rat?

thanks,

No. Both nice looking snakes, but quite different. And, both do occur in Texas. Do a search on this forum for both to see some pics of juveniles and adults of each.

thanks n/p
