Thanks Cindy! These guys are awesome snakes with really interesting colors and patterns. The male's colors are usually a bit brighter, but it looks like he is starting to go into shed.

Great looking pair of ridleyi - best of luck! Do you keep and breed any other Old World rats?

Thanks Toby! Out of the old world rat snakes, I also keep Vietnamese Blue Beauties (Orthriophis taeniurus callicyanous). Coincidentally, I recently also noticed them copulating. So if all goes well, I might have a clutch of VBB and a clutch of Cave Dwelling rat snakes

Thanks,
