: ...or big stinky, or whatever...
: What do we know about these? I know they're Asian rats, I know they get big, and I know what they look like. Plus, I have a field guide from Singapore that lists them as a differnt genus,and that they grow to 4 meters! There is a little bit more info on them in the guide, but I am more interested at this point in other keeper's experiences with these snakes.
: I had a dark one recently that was about eight feet in length, and was pretty ugly. However, he was a pretty cool snake, and I loved the shear size. Pictures I've seen of these show much prettier snakes than the one I had, and I would be interested in finding any carinata for sale, or at least talking to others who have had maybe fond experience with this species.
: If anyone knows anything at all that could help me, let me know.
: Thanks a bunch!
