: Thank you for a quick responce. For as common and popular as some of the Asia ratsnakes are, you would think there would be more information out there on them.

Well, it isnt suprising since they sometimes tend to be aggressive and not regarded as good pets (which I strongly disagree with) and additionaly,
they are much more popular as a food item in Vietnam and China. So... there isnt alot of field data, and wild collected animals often have a pretty low life expectancy in captivity. I would also equate their situation with the mollendorffs rat which because of their large size are more often collected for food than for export.
