Wow, he is just incredible!!! Can I come over and play with him?? I love him!! I'd pick some big cat name.

 

[MerlinsPop]

Id go with an ancient Egyptian king/queen for their names.

Well, ok...maybe you should be sorry because you posted his pic here instead of general chit......

But NEVER be sorry for posting his pic, he's wonderful!!
How is his temperment?

 

[rolandslf]

Both are calm as kittens, he almost seemed to pose for the Pics'.
She dropped me 11 eggs this season.

Is the taiwan beauty snake(Elaphe taeniura) in the same family as, the rat snake as we know (Elaphe guttata guttata) just out of curiosity?

 

[diamondlil]

I think corns are now reclassified as pantherophis to distinguish them from the asian ratsnakes

The name Elaphe meant that they were both in the same genus (one step more specific than a family: Family --> Genus --> Species). As mentioned above corns are now in the genus Pantherophis. But both species are still in the family Colubridae.

Thanks Zach. Must do my homework.

 

[Phoeb]

Awesome looking snake. I like the name Tigris.

 

[rolandslf]

Diamondlill hit the nail on the Head with the specifics of Genus etc.
They are awesome snakes and some do tend to be aggressive, especially when small. Both of mine however are calm as my Corn Snakes and love to be handled, they sure love to eat though and a medium sized rat avery 7 days is not a problem for them.
