Celebes Black Tailed Rat Snake, Sulawesi black rat snake, Elaphe Janseni? I am not sure on the CORRECT Name. I was at a herp store today and I ran into this beauty. I want to know any possible information on this species of snake... it is so gorgeous.. one thing I liked about it was that it was completely black. Like, Indigo black... so beautiful...

When I got home I looked up some websites, couldnt find any "care" tips, but found a breeder that bred these. The only difference was that his was like gray with a black tail... the one I saw today was ALL black. Melanistic? Just curious.

Also, are they arboreol lizard eaters? Its body design seemed like it would be in the trees....

Thanks for all your imput!
