In Reply to: Elaphe Taeniura experts, please help... posted by Kris Diekema on August 02, 2002 at 03:34:13:
:Hi,
:I'm looking to get into Rat Snakes and the Elaphe Taeniura species/sub-species seem to be the ones I'm most interested in. I am wondering if they are a good idea for a new comer to Rat Snakes? I've kept numerous snake Species (and Lizards for that matter) and I'm looking for something new. I know theres a few sub-species and I'm wondering if each one has certain different needs as opposed to other ones? Are some generally more tempermental than others? Are they difficult feeders? Just thought I'd come in here and ask for some advice before diving head first into it and learning the hard way with em. Any info and ideas would be great,
:Thanks in advance,
:Kris
:Kris, I have pairs of Blue Beauties, Moquard Beauties and Tiawan Beauties. I have also worked with Chinese Beauties in the past. I find all of them to be very impressive but most can be quite intimidating if you are not used to them. My Tiawans are the calmest by far and might be your best choice. All the Taeniuras are usually great feeders (True Pigs). Good luck. Randy Whittington
