Character is in the eye of the beholder. I too enjoy working with aggressive specimens.

I'm not sure what you are calling ratsnakes as the group is largely artificial, but I will agree that the Red-Tailed Green Ratsnake (Gonyosoma oxycephala) and the Radiated Ratsnake (Elaphe radiata) both fit the bill. I think the Radiated will be more aggressive on average.

You might also try Elaphe janseni. These probably should be in the genus Gonyosoma and perhaps even the same species as the Green Red-Tailed Ratsnakes.

Enjoy.
