I added the South Koreans because they are my favorite dione. They are very similar to the Russians in temperment and other behavior, such as their open diurnal activity. It's almost impossible to get them to bite. They are extrememly hardy, and yet can be active nearly the whole year, or hibernate for about four months. Also, they don't get huge, or eat you out of house and home. Females usually get around 40 inches, and males probably not more than 36 inches and slimmer. They handle extremely well, like a corn or Russian. Lastly, they are nice looking with mostly different shades of brown, but a healthy dose of yellow too. I'm working on bringing out the best colors. These should be dynamic pet snakes once they are breeding in numbers, which shouldn't be too long. I got 16 eggs in the last clutch (see post below).

Here's a pic of the original male from Seoul...
