I know this is VERY old but i wanted to point out for future people who might want to keep one of these, according to Dr. Brian Fry
Quote:
"The most aggressive snake we've had so far have been the Ptyas carinatus (Keeled ratsnakes). These massive snakes can get 4 meters long, look just like a king cobra and can hit your face from the ground. Like just about every other 'colubrid' they have a venom gland and their venom is rich in neurotoxic 3FTx. However, bites are without effects in humans. However, they have incredibly strong jaws that can leave an impressive amount of scar tissue."
So that just a warning. That said I'd still LOVE to get one. Any idea where they could be found?
