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.

Early '09 Female Leucistic Ratsnake - No Bug-Eyes - Good Disposition!
Sold! Thanks a ton PCJReptiles! 
---------------------------------
I have a female leucistic ratsnake that needs to find a good home. I'd purchased her recently, but her future mate went AWOL and hasn't yet returned, so I've decided to scrap the breeding project.
She's got a surprisingly good disposition for a leucy rat, will rattle her tail, but hasn't struck once (the sole exception being the first time I sexed her). Is a little flighty first out of the cage, but calms down easily, regular handling seems to keep her 'tame'. She's got a lovely head, no bug eyes, very nice silvery-blue colour to them. Eats well on f/t, a little hestitant with live, but doesn't turn down meals. She's growing very quickly and would be an excellent addition to a collection, great potential breeder.
I'm looking to trade for a blizzard cornsnake, or maybe a hatchling pair? Other offers would be considered as well, corns are really my preference though. I'd sell her for $65 +shipping, let me know your zip code, but it's usually between $30-45ish. Again, I'm willing to negotiate. I'm in Irving, TX and would meet up for local trade/sale too.
Pictures below (I'm sorry the last one is so blurry! Didn't realize it until I'd uploaded it, but it's mainly to show you her size )

Thanks for looking!

I've been looking for a leucistic ratsnake for educational purposes. I know you said she has a good disposition but wanted to also know if she is cage aggressive. Once she calms down does she move around a lot or does she eventually settle in your hands?

If you just reach in and pick her up, she's not any problem. A little flighty sometimes, but not aggressive. If you're moving slow, or messing with things in the cage, she'll rattle some and raise up a bit, but hasn't ever struck at me I do think she'd be a good snake for educational purposes because of how well she calms down with regular holding (and I assume that with continued regular holding, she'd probably be even better as she gets older).
As far as being held, once she's calm, she'll move some, the normal cruising around your hands and whatnot, but doesn't stay perfectly still or anything. She does settle, and hasn't tried to launch away like some of em will

Thank you for the quick response. Currently what type of enclosure are you housing her in? How often do you feed her f/t? Mice or rats?

Do you have a uth or bulb for heat? Does she have the option to climb and if so does she take advantage of it or does she prefer being on the ground? How are her sheds? To keep her "tame" how often do you handle her? Have any kids handled her? I appreciate your time with all the questions... 
What would be shipping costs to 60613?

Haha, no worries, do you wanna send me a message? She has a under tank heater right now, her enclosure is moderately decorated and she does explore from time to time (driftwood pieces and whatnot), her sheds are regular and easy, she likes to soak, and is growing fast. I handle her daily, usually after work, and while I haven't had kids handle her, I do have friends who are also into herps who've handled her without problems.
Shipping to your location with FedEx looks like it's $42, if you're interested in her, I'd round the price down to $100 shipped. If you have a trade offer, just let me know! Thanks!

Sorry not sure what happened.
Your leucy is just stunning! I am still waiting if a friend is willing to let go of his female leucy. It is a local sale and I know his snake is very tame and used to kids.
If he decides to keep her than would you consider holding your snake for 2 weeks (after payment received) before shipment because my snakes have custom wooden enclosures and would need time to have one built for her. I will know hopefully by Wednesday this week.
When you feed her does she take it off tongs or just lay it in her cage? Do you transfer her to another cage to eat?
Again, I appreciate your time with all the questions...
