great looking snakes,
very difficult for me to choose btw situla, coxy and mussuranas!

I know mussuranas are not ratsnakes, but I loved them as I love my ratsnakes!

Those are awesome! I can't wait until mine put on some size. I'm having trouble getting my female to eat anything but ground skinks right now, which is hardly a meal for her, even at her relatively small size. She was eating med. geckos and FT pinks wraped in snake skin, but once she got a taste for the skinks she hasn't accepted anything else, but she'll take them right off the tonges. Now that it's marming up I should be able to catch enough that I can start freezing some and use them for scenting. Hopefully that will work.

I don't know if you still have any, but I'd love to see updated pics of your bairdi crosses (with the glades and black rats). I've been curious to see how they were turning out.
