I saw some black racers the other day at a pet store! The girl wouldn't even open the cage so I could look at them lol. They were some psychotic little bastards lol.

Handling racers safely should be a prerequisite before people are allowed to keep venomous...those are fast and bitey little bastages!

You know that we're going to have to see pics!!

I work with a lot of wild racers when in the field and they do have quite the attitude.

If I could ever find anyone offering CB I probably would be interested.

With such an active sight hunting snake, do they require a pretty large enclosure?

I have only had succes keeping my Raer and Whips like Indigo's.In large enclosures with a built in hid that has a drop down door.
I tried racks and AP cages but for some reason it seemed more difficult to gt tem feeding etc.
Ill be getting some pics up at some point.There a pain to get pics of even with a fast shutter speed.

I heard some place that working with coachwhips for a time was a prerequisite. They'd deffinately be good practice.
