Zamenis persicus
Well I said I wanted a small colubrid to finish the collection off with but it had to be something different. I've also wanted a black snake for long time.
Well my favourite local store has just taken in a Zamenis persicus - Persian rat snake - from a girl that couldn't get out to feed. Mainly because they had the set up completely wrong. Nervous little snakes these and won't eat in an open Viv.
Currently an iridescent rust but likely to darken right up. That said I'll be entirely happy if it stays it's current colour as he's a pretty little thing.
The store is holding onto him until he's then another 3 meals or so but once they had hun in a suitable enclosure he fed first time for them so I'm comfortable he'll be just fine.
No pictures as I didn't want to stress him too much but rest assured they will follow in due course...
