Yeah! They're here- arrived safe and sound this afternoon. Snapped a few pics before letting them settle in.

They all came from Stephen Emerick at Napa Valley Snakes in California who hatched them this year. The Red Bamboo is such a visually striking little snake. I think even people who don't like snakes in general might have to admit hes' pretty.

Great looking asians!!
I love that coxi you have.

I have been looking for those for a very long time~
I have also been trying to look for the Chinese Bamboo Rats....but can't seem to find them anywhere.....

You also got those snakes from a great guy too~
Stephen is a great snake breeder!

Good luck with them!!

Congrats on your new additions Lora, they all look awesome! Especially love the coxi -- I'd definitely love to get my hands on a pair of those :D The boulengeri is really cool too though... best of luck with all of them!

Wonderful coxi and long-nosed!!! Those are a pretty good choice in asian ratsnakes indeed! Have you considered the bamboo snake or the red chained ratsnake?

I'm hoping for a conspicillata (Japanese Forest ratsnake) one day if I can ever find them captive bred and not costing both arms and legs! And of course mates to the new ones in a few years...
The Elaphe porphyracea vaillanti (the Chinese Bamboo) are also very beautiful but hard to find...
I'm just keeping my eyes open and saving my money ;) My wish list keeps getting longer instead of shorter!

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm hoping the new snakes will thrive in my care.
