I put them together this season just for kicks, but never witnessed anything. I have high hopes next season.

Looking good Shane. Anyway you can enlarge the pics, kinda hard to see.

Sure, I was resizing photos for my website.

I have a soft spot for Mandarins. Hope they go for you next season! I'd like to see more of these guys being CB and becoming more available. They are on my top ten list for 'most underrated'. :yessir:

Pretty cool snakes! I have heard they like a lot cooler temps than normals rat snakes. Is this true?

I have always loved the way they look :cheers:

Those are cool, best of luck with them.

They require a little different care. They definately like cooler temps. Mine wont even eat a hopper vs fuzzy. Its like they know how big of a meal they like to digest with no heat. I have offered all sizes. I don't think they are hard to work with, they just need a little different care.

Doh! Robbed! I come back to look at the pretty pics and they are already gone. No rearranging your photobucket account until the post is long dead. :eek:

I am in the process of simplifying my photobucket account as I am building my website.

I am starting to like the Asian rats. I really like the red tail green rat I have. I will say its worth spending the extra money for a CB animal, and thats captive bred, not captive born.
