you may remeber me i was asking about wheter or not my "corn" may have any yellow rat snake. well it just so happens that this week my local reptile petstore got their hands on a very nice adult yellow rat snake. so i was wondering how easy yellow rat snakes are to take care of, i searched for care sheets with less than great results.

They are very easy to take care of and are my personal fave North American rat snakes. Same care as a corn or any other NA rat.

anyways now i know i NEED to abopt him becasue he was in a cage with no water, and nothing to climb and only about 1/4 inch of bedding. (now i just need to convince my housemates to let me get another snake lol)

Wow, sounds like he definitely needs a new home. Good luck.
