New Asian Rat Snakes - pics

Received these three from Steve Emerick at Napa Valley Snakes a few weeks ago.
They're all 2004 hatchlings.
Kunasir Island Rat Snake (climacophora) She's very sweet and not too spazzy. Should grow up to be a nice blue green snake.



Vietnamese Long-Nosed Rat Snake (Rhynochophis Boulengeri) This little guy is eating live fish currently and I'm hoping to convince him that pinky mice are a food item in the near future. Really interesting to observe and I wish I had more information on these. Also wanting to watch the color change from grey brown to emerald green!



And a Thai Red Bamboo Racer/Rat Snake (coxi)

Just a beautiful little snake!

whoa , that Thai Red Bamboo Racer/Rat Snake is one of the nicest snakes I have ever seen , I am not a big snake guy... but, If you know can you post a link to a breeder so I can check out the prices on some of these guys?

Beautifyul!! i love the asian rats. those three species are some of my gavorites ,the Rhynochophis you just got to love!!!!

www.NapaValleySnakes.com is the breeder Steve Emerick's web site. He's got a great selection of Asian Rat snakes and some pretty cool pythons as well.

The Thai Red Bamboo is a little fiesty and they require cool temps and a humid hide, similar to Mandarins in care. They're a rat snake officially, but they also call them racers- my guess is because of their 'tude. He's a beauty though!

Love the Rhyncophis & coxi. Myself, I just picked up a pair of Rhyncophis, hopefully will pick up a pair of coxi this year. Never been much for colubrids until I saw my first Asian species.
