Same here ... Ended up with Iroh, our GTP and only python and then these guys to satisfy the need for GREEN! Still want an Asian vine down the road though.

Yay!!! The first prasina shed today, so I went ahead and offered it a day old F/T pinky and it ate immediately!! Hopefully the rest are as quick.

Re: The prasina are hatching! (Green Bush ratsnakes)

So, how have the rest gone, and do you intend to make them available? How are they as adults?

They had all been eating really well. Then they were sexed and that was hard! I'm not sure on 4 of them, the other 2 are definitely male. Unfortunately one of the males stopped eating after being sexed, he's only refused twice, so not too worried yet. But I think there are 4 males and 2 females. One of the males has sold and gone to it's new home with a friend who didn't care about gender and one of the potential females is spoken for by another local friend. I am planning on getting some more meals into them and then sex them again before offering them for sale anywhere. Don't feel comfortable with selling them to the public right now.

The adults are pretty good, typical Asian ratsnake temperament but not bad. Need smaller meals, the adult females eat 2 hoppers instead of one adult mouse, for example. They are fairly diurnal and like to climb, so are pretty good display snakes.

Glad to hear they're all eating well for you. If you do decide to sell any to non locals let me know. I'm a rat snake fan for sure.

You should be rescuing an animal instead of shipping animals across the oceans for profit!

I was going to say that but thought I'd get shouted at by a moderator for stirring
