O.P. Coxi
Hello everyone, well, I have purchased my first Rat Snake.
I am very excited.
I have done my research, as I've have been eyeballing these guys for quite a while but I would like to hear some personal stories.
any keepers of reds, how do you house them (tank vs tub),
any tips? tricks? and of course pictures are always welcome.
p.s. I had no idea what part of the forum to put this under sorry Aaron :P

Re: O.P. Coxi
Congrats! I was just looking at them online and almost pulled the trigger myself.
It seems like due to their humidity requirements a tub would be the easiest method.
Where did you get yours?

Local guy brings stuff in all the time if we wish (KSK Reptiles I think is his company name he goes by.)
Captive Bred from Europe.
I was thinking of a tub for a while considering it is young, so its small.
Also because of the humidity requirements. Thanks for the response

Re: O.P. Coxi
they only need some very basic care which is to not get them too hot. I keep them on cypress mulch with a hide and water bowl only in room at 70-77F except for some weeks in winter when it is cooler. Good eaters, you shouldn't have any issues. Plastic boxes are fine but must have a secure lid.

Re: O.P. Coxi
Beautiful snakes, still a bit pricey though. I'm expecting the going price to drop a bit in the next few years, hopefully by then I should have the rest of my current collection better accommodated and have room for more, lol. They normally produce 3-4 clutches of eggs each year, so it shouldn't take too long for the supply to catch up/exceed the demand for them. One thing I saw when I was researching them, they aren't recommended to be handled for any length of time because your body heat can actually be too much for them. Pretty much a display-only snake, and they apparently like to hide a lot, which is one reason I don't have any myself.
So where's the pics of the new baby?

Re: O.P. Coxi
It's been stormy here so the flights across the were canceled. He'll be here this week. I don't plan on handling him much, I've heard they can be pretty active, as well as hiding alot though, so I'll probably have him in a nice tub for a bit until hes bigger.

Re: O.P. Coxi
He's here, he's beautiful, and I'm happy with him
This is no filter. No special lighting. I just took 2 quick pics before placing him in his new home

Re: O.P. Coxi
Very nice! Congrats on him, they are neat snakes! Most of ours are in RUBs but 2 are in tanks. Don't have a problem in either, though the RUBs are a bit easier to keep good humidity in.

Re: O.P. Coxi
What a fantastic looking snake Slaughter. I mulled around the idea of getting one of these guys, they're just stunning. I hope he does well for you!

Re: O.P. Coxi
Thanks everyone! Just giving him time to settle, then will try feeding
He's actually a little bigger than I expected so he will be getting a bigger tub in a few days. Right now he seems cozy in his hide.
