how are the texas leucistic rats tempers? I mean do they strike alot? also how big do they get.
Texas Ratsnakes can be rather "difficult" sometimes (I live in their range and see at least 100 per year). I have seen some captives that were dogtame and caught some wild ones that were the same way. It varies from snake to snake, but on average, I would say they are, on average, slightly feistier than an Everglades or Yellow Rat. You can get one and tame it down.
oh wait forgot to ask...are there any rats that like to climb besides the rhinos?
All the obsoleta rats (Everglades, Yellow, Black, TX, Gray) like to climb and spend a considerable amount of time in trees in the wild.
