Here are a couple of Moellendorffi shots from yesterday. These guys grow fast compared to most other species of ratsnakes I've keep. They seem to grow at a pace more like the larger beauty snake (taeniura)subspecies.
I've noticed the color of their blotches from head to tail start turning to more of a chocolate color rather quickly. The orange or rust coloring in their tail gets more intense quickly also.
I'm glad to finally have my first pair of this species. If anyone out there in the US has any babies there not too attached to please shoot me a message.
