Yeah, plenty of people want these - i guess i'm just lucky 
There is another available but a certain fat twat may be trying to stop it coming to me  Jealousy is a terrible thing

I've only had him a few weeks but it has to be said he is pretty damn cool, shed again this afternoon so maybe time to get some photos after all. Unfortunately it's a 2 man job and i'm alone right now - maybe tomorrow?
As for breeding, i would like nothing more to be absolutely honest - i just can not get over how cool these are and i would desperately love to see more of them within the hobby. Of course that will never happens unless i get a girl for him.....

Hmmmmmm, VERY interesting looking snake. How are you keeping him Dan? Just how varied is his diet?

It`s a "Face biting"  Keeled rat snake and a very cool looking one at that. Big lump of "defensive" snake.

I have to make sure he doesn't see this - he'd be offended to be told he looks like a incy wincy chicken snake.
He is Ptyas carinatus, aka keeled rat snake. To my knowledge he is the only one in a private collection within the EU (would seriously like to be proved wrong on this)
Pete, you really don't want to know about his diet Although initial indications suggested he was a "dangerous" little fella to work with the reality is once he is out there aren't too many problems (other than the adrenalin overload running through my body)
