Any info on these snakes (Care/temperment/pics/etc)? Saw a pic of a hatchling and was in love...

This is what info I've been able to dig up online, after ALOT of searching:

"It's commonly called a Chinese Ratsnake, or Wasu Ratsnake. They're not at all common in the pet trade, which means any you see pop up are likely wild caught. In China, these snakes are commonly used for medicines and in the food trade. They can grow up to 7ft long, but remain slender bodied. Personality wise, they seem to be more like a racer than a ratsnake...somewhat nervous and nippy at times. They do seem to feed readily on rodents and birds."

If anyone here has had any experiences with them, or actually knows of a breeder, I'd love to hear about it!

* this pic was NOT taken by me...it was found onilne.
