Lol, get air frenshener if you get a carinata. Worst smelling musk EVER! And they musk every time I pass my carinata's cage.

::The red-tailed green rat is Gonyosoma oxycephalum, not Elaphe frenata. Frenata is a very tame species when maintained correctly. Another aggressive one might be (Elaphe?) carinata, the Stinking Goddess, which can get over seven ft, also. Good luck with that, haha!!

:Terry,

:I agree with you that Elaphe carinata is very aggressive, strong, and smelly. They also make a lot of noise when they get mad.
