Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Mandarin Ratsnakes are one of my favorite snakes out there. Love the way they look.

Nice pictures, so beautiful. I want one, but keep hearing mixed reviews on temperament and care. Any thoughts?

Both of ours have good temperaments. Bit more high strung than, say a corn snake but not bad. We keep ours similar to the corns with a humid hide. They seem to be doing great setup that way. I've also seen care advised that way or more like the Oreocryptophis porphyraceus species. My personal guess is, if you check out the natural range of this species, it is huge! Some areas never get above 80 degrees. But other areas routinely get and stay in the 90s for long periods. They were apparently difficult to get acclimated to captivity and the care methods that was successful for keepers might have depended a lot on which area the WC imports had come from. Once the keepers found what worked with theirs, they told everyone that's how they should be kept. That's my thought on why there are two such dissimilar theories on how to care for these guys anyway. I'm not sure how accurate it is.
I'd suggest asking whoever you consider getting one from how they keep theirs and do what the snake is used to.
