These are absolutely stunning animals, and possibly my favourite in North American ratsnakes. I had a pair of these beautiful ratsnakes, but when we moved (BC to SK), the male unfortunately kicked off and I am left with this beautiful female I purchased from Dean Goudie. I see there is a pair for sale in the classifieds and I would just LOVE to have them.
Anyhow, here's some pics of my gorgeous female. Excuse the strange colour on the first pic.

They don't seem to be too common in Canada, which is a shame, as they are magnificent snakes. They start off as dull grey babies, but turn into pewter grey snakes with tons of colour on the belly and in the interstitial skin. If you look on the neck you can see the juvenile blotches still present.
