Posted by: jderyke at Fri Apr 16 05:49:09 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by jderyke ] I've had a male Pakistani Jeweled ratsnake- brick-red with a gloss black head, for 13 yrs and to date, no bites. I can pick him up & hold him for cage cleanings, & as long as he's not tightly restrained its OK. He doesn't enjoy it but tolerates handling. Good thing- he's over 6 ft, heavy-bodied -weighs 3 lbs- and these guys are rear-fanged according to Dr. Brian Fry. Rats are viciously grabbed and inhaled but being a desert snake, he seldom drinks. I also have an Egyptian variant that's 2-1/2 yrs and just beginning to change to butter-yellow with a black head. About the same temperament as the big one; watch closely for aggressive signals if you're holding them. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Hide Replies ]
