A few more critters that were bred this year that are now ready for new homes. These little ones are amelanistic (albino) Black Ratsnakes. They are eating live mice pinks right now but should be easy to switch to frozen thawed. They like to put on a show while they are young but they are so little you laugh when they strike at your fingers. With repetative handling they calm with age. I have two left.

$25.00 each or both for $40.00

how long are they now and how long will they get?

Currently they are a little under a foot and would do fine in a ten gallon tank. As adults they can get aroung 5.5 feet (really big ones can get 6 ft) and would need a 55 gallon or bigger. Takes a few years for them to get to this size though.

interested, never owned a snake though how easy are they to maintain?

These guys are easy to maintain if you offer them the correct environment. They can be currently housed in a 5 or 10 gallon aquarium with a secure lid (snakes are very good at escaping if given the chance). As adults they need to be in at least a 20 long (preferably a 55 gal) or possibly a commercially made snake cage. You can use a variety of cage substrates but I tend to recommend aspen shavings (def NOT pine or cedar shavings) or a recycled paper product called Care Fresh. Give them a water bowl and somewhere to hide (plastic hide boxes are often sold at pet shops or you can use flower pots, half a coconut shell, or other free materials) so they feel secure. They eat every 7-10 days on appropriately sized food items. If your house/apt stays cold then a heating pad or commercial heat mat should be placed under 1/2 the tank (this allows the snake to thermoregulate i.e. maintain the correct body temperature for itself). Initial purchases for any pet can seem excessive but reptiles are some of the least demanding, but extremely interesting, pets you can own.

Too many words....Must stop now.
