Joey,
These snakes are commonly called "chinese gartersnakes". They are not ratsnakes. I hear some individuals are very pretty and have great color.
I keep Diadem ratsnakes; another snake that's not a ratsnake. It should be classified as a racer.
I do have some genuine ratsnakes though. I have mandarins, beauty snakes, texas rat, and a few corns.

I've included my home page link, just out of habit...
