Though I've never heard of a speckled racer I think a lot of people will tell you that racers in general are very hard to keep whether it be their speed or unwillingness to eat in captivity or something like that O_O

Hatchlings are approximately 6 in (15 cm) in length and reach maturity in 2-3 years referred to as the Northern Speckled RacerThe Speckled Racer is typically black in color with distinctive yellow and blue spotting, which gives the snake an overall greenish hue.

their care would appear to be similar to that of a garter, I have a chance of importing some, and was just wondering if any one had any first hand experience with them.

I will prob import some so I will keep you guys updated :)
