She wasn't too happy with the flash

I got another male Mandarin but I didn't want to dig him up. Hope you enjoyed the pics.

Lovely pictures!
I haven't had time to take any photos of my asain rats~
I just want them to settle in a bit more first~
but that red on the red mandarin is great!
Maybe we can do some exchange in the future with the asian rats!

Great snakes!!

Thanks everyone! I just love them, even when the females try and tag me....lol. I'm actually glad to see they are a little fiesty; hopefully it is an indicator of aggressive feeders.

Jon, Angus will turn you into a "snake guy" in no time.

This is 01. Very nice pics. That's a great snake to let you take great pics of that way. They remind me of rainbow boas sort of

Wow- beautiful snakes! Great pics also. The red on your female Mandarins is stunning. My females show a lot more red than my males do. I don't know if it's just luck or if they actually tend to run darker than males.

I'd love to get a pair of those Forest rat snakes- are there any more where those came from??? Does Angus do any shipping to the U.S.? I've been hoping for some U.S. captive bred for a couple years now but they are rarely available.

Good luck with all your new beauties!

I'm pretty sure Angus would ship to the States but he's not the one who found me the conspicillata; another friend of mine found it and sent it to Angus who took care of it and shipped it. They're pretty rare even in Asia, hopefully CB will become more available in the near future. I have been emailing with Rex Knight and he may be able to hook me up with a male.
