    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I was interested in working with some more asian rats and like the looks of the asian beauty snakes bust most appear to be out of my size range. I prefer snakes that stay under 4 feet. I'm leaning towards the trinket snake (elaphe helena) but I was wondering if anyone knew of any specie or subspecies that stay small or are smaller.
 
This thread is a couple of months old, but I just saw it and thought I would put in my 2 cents...

While nowhere near as small as a trinket snake, the Chinese Beauty Snake is (in my experience) the smallest of the Beauty Snake Species. Particularly the Calico morph seem to reach a shorter length than the other morphs; in my collection they tend to reach 2 1/2 ft - 3 1/2 ft in length, with some individuals reaching a max of ~4 1/2 ft.

Hope that helps!
