Re: I got new kids. :)
Congrats on the new snakes! I've always loved the way king rats look as adults, their pattern is just gorgeous with the speckling with the black and yellows. I'm sure you'll have your hands full with these guys, they are supposed to have some strong personalities haha.

I was very surprised at how un aggressive they are after everything I have read. Neither have musked and only one nipped a couple times, after it found out that nipping wasn't getting him anywhere he stopped already. The other wont bite if his life depended on it. I'm very happy so far.

Re: I got new kids. :)
My female is a gem. Very flighty but not Aggressive at all. Wonderful snakes but they earn the name Stinking goddess. Mine just has a very strong odor. Never musks, but definitely stinks lol.
