Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Wild-type
Naturally found in Asian sub-tropical rain forests, Rhino Ratsnakes are a small and gentle colubrid species that are largely human-tolerant. Only one of the 40+ I have owned ever bit me, and that was from mistaken identity (biting the wrong pinky–MY pinky finger–thinking I was offering a pinky mouse).
Right out of their eggs they are tan colored, but within a few short months they transform from tan to Olive green to brilliant green as adults. The first meals I offer are live minnows or minnow-scented live pinky mice. They eventually take live unscented pinkies, finally eating appropriately sized frozen/thawed mice that have no scenting at all. At this time we have several 2017 nine-month-old (as of toDAY, May 21, 2018) juveniles that are eating unscented f/t (frozen/thawed) pinky mice weekly. I have a precious few that are still eating LIVE pinky mice, and those can be purchased at a discounted price. Inquire.
