Dwarf Texas Rat Revisited

[rolandslf]

Greetings All

Going back 6 or 7 years ago, I posted an article on the Dwarf Texas Rat Snake that hatched out of a clutch of I think it was 23 eggs.
That same Dwarf Texas Rat Snake is fully grown, showing full Adult Texas Rat Snake colour's, and has the temperament to match.

He is now 6 or 7 years old and is only about 30cm in length.

Here is a pic taken this last weekend, where he is letting me know that he will not take nonsense from me.

I remember seeing that little monster. Sure hasn't grown at all since then, except for the attitude... Hopefully you are planning on making those dwarf Texas Rat Snakes available when they hatch soon...

Wow very interesting. I also recall that original topic and didnt think much of it at the time, but happy to be proven wrong.

I doubt this will be an inheritable trait, but worth a go!

Funny enough, there was a Leucistic female showing the same dwarfism.
Sadly she didn't make it, and died after about 4 or 5 months.
This boy however, proved everyone wrong.

Hi Roland, do you by any chance still breed Leucistic Texas ratsnakes?

[rolandslf]

Sadly not, I am however looking at getting back into Texas rats.
So perhaps in the next 2 or 3 years, I may have some.
