No names ( they would be insanely over-elaborate if I did give you any and besides I never named my snakes 🙂 ), just a comment. 'Ware the Texas Rat - I’ve never met one that wasn’t as pissy as all get out. Black Rats are sweeties, Texas Rat - not so much. Same species, but decidely different temperments.

Pretty though, at least the non-leucistic one I had was.
