Kunashir Island Rat color changing

Glenbrooks Jun 29, 2013 12:22 AM

I really love this pair of climacophora that I picked up from Jeff Serrao. They have already begun their color change into beautiful blue green adults.

Here are some pics of my female's color change over the last 2 months.

Looking forward to seeing the change over the next year.

Glen,

She is beautiful. I just got a baby myself. I can't wait to see her change from brown to blue and green.
I've tried to find books on Kunishir snakes and can't find any. I was hoping you knew a good book or website specific to the Kunishir.

Good luck with your pretty girl.

Kim,
Most info on the Kunashir Island locale would be found in general info on Japanese Ratsnakes. I have not found anything really specific on this color phase.

Here is a current pic of my female, she is growing like a weed!

Glen,

Thanks for the picture. She is really beautiful. Mine is maybe a couple months old. I can't wait to see her colors change. She is tiny right now and mostly brown.

Thanks for the info.

What's the disposition of these Kunashirs?
More docile rat, or irascible racers?
Thanks!

In my experience docile rat. Great personalities!
