>>Terry there are a few more rat snake I'll see if another friend will let me use his pics, he;s got hundres of nice pics. I'v learned alot about the snakes here and take notes, I'm very keen on writing a book. I'v know a Few local herpers that are willing to help gather the info, and what ever pics I might need.

>>Don I know there are some guys exporting them from Hong Kong. The Read bamboo rats are easyer to keep than Mandarains. They seem a little less shy and can handel higher temps.





Dino...I look forward to any new pics. I'd love to have the access you have for a year, or so. If you're going to work on a book, keep me in mind. I'll be free by next summer and might be looking for a new project. I could probably give some technical support.



BTW, I was going to suggest the Hong Kong exporters also. Some probably see some porphyracea and mandarina. I've kept both w/o any problems, but would suggest keeping them at room temps, maybe with a little undercage heat for digestion...





Later....TC
