As a little treat to myself after surviving a lung infection that put me in the hospital for a week, I got myself (through trades) a pair of 4-5ft yellow rats.
In my opinion these are the ultimate north american ratsnake. Heck even my luecy's pale (so to speak) in comparison to these yellow beauties. I'm not exactly sure why yellow rats have captured me so, but there's something about them, that just speaks to me.
They are dirt cheap animals, but I couldn't care. They are to me the highlight of my collection, I do have a lot of rats. I had one before, which I sold to raise funds for our big move and am so glad to have this species again. I had them down on my wish list and just didn't think I'd be able to get any this year.
Anyhow, here's a pic of the male. Didn't get any of the female as she had eaten a rat.

Not sure if I will be breeding these guys. If everglades are sold at $20 each, these guys aren't going to fetch that much more. I'd breed them just so I could have more! <laugh> Anyhow, hope you guys like them. There's no other snake that compares to these.
