I don't have any personal experiences with this species, but I'll tell you what I've read. First of all, Spaleorosophis diadema is not a Ratsnake. It's a Racer, and it's captive requirements are very different from the Kunashir Island Ratsnake. Spaleorosophis likes it hot and dry. It is a short tempered snake with a rather nervous disposition, so it needs a secure hide. It also has ophiophagus tendencies, so it is best kept seperately. This is what I know in a nutshell. Spaleorosophis is not a beginners snake, so to meet it's particular needs you should Google for all the caresheets you can find. The species has been kept and bred since the eighties, so by now there must be plenty of reliable and practical caresheets out there.



Good luck,



Herman.
