Info on the Aesculapian

I was wondering if anyone has first hand experience with, or has an Aesculapian Rat Snake...!?
(Elaphe longissima)

From the research I have done, they range from the eastern Iberian Peninsula to the extreme northwestern part of Iran.

Does anyone know someone that breads them, or has a collection?

Also, from what I have found, they are said to be somewhat on the gentle side as far as temperament for Rat Snakes are concerned. Is this accurate?

Also, what are their requirements as far as housing, etc? I would assume it would be close to the corn or rat snake requirements, but slightly different as they have been found in dry/sandy areas...!?

Any info would be appreciated, thanks...! :cheers:

Not really. I have never understood why these aren't more popular though?
I did a bit of research for you, and all I could come up with was that they do fairly well under similar conditions for American Ratsnakes. Found no info on their temperament. They are beautiful serpents and there is a breeder in Germany that is currently selling some 06' for $125. Sorry, that's all I could come up with. Let me know if you come up with anything more as I am totally intrigued now :cheers:
