Re: Baird's Rat Snake Update
Good to see some interest in the lesser known rat species. Really nice example you have.

Re: Baird's Rat Snake Update
Thank you both for the kind words!
Danny- I'm quickly falling in love with this species and my interest is starting to wonder to others as well. I was a little worried at first because usually you see more colorful individuals at the age of two, but recently he hit his first growth spurt with me and that brings about a rapid change in color. I'll keep you up to date when he sheds next.
Dave- He's doing great. Was gaining 10 grams a month usually and just jumped up 35 last month. Voracious and fun to watch.

I've heard rat snake addiction can get quite serious! I know people with very substantial collections.
Just don't look at all the Asian and European species as well and you'll be fine...

Re: Baird's Rat Snake Update
whistlepig- Thank you!
danny- Haha, well I can see why! But your warning came too late for me. I'm hoping to get an Asian species soon-ish.

Re: Baird's Rat Snake Update
Small update. He's doing extremely well. He's probably going to be getting a bigger cage sometime this month, which he definitely needs. I haven't measured him length wise in about a month, but he's a little over 4' and he's 222.5g from about a week ago. I'm starting to slow his feeding schedule down and we'll see how he handles that.
This isn't really something the camera can capture, but he's made huge changes personality wise as well, even in just the past month. I can't remember the last time he's tail rattled and now he's extremely placid and curious. I'm able to pick him up out of the enclosure without him even attempting to run away. He also loves my hair, as it's probably a pretty tempting hiding place. Unfortunately for him I try not to let him near my face, but a funny thing about that happened when I was taking these pictures. I didn't have him close to my face, probably at around chest level, but I wasn't paying him much attention and when I yawned, this punk stuck his head in my mouth, which was something I'd never imagined I'd have happen. But yeah, extremely curious and no fear lol

I wish my Lucy would calm down. She's an ornery little lady.

Re: Baird's Rat Snake Update
Also, just a tip especially if you're capturing photos with a cell phone. Take it out in the sun. You might not be able to see your screen too well but just snap the photos best you can and usually they turn out alright.
