New rats and a hungry python-- pics (not mixed!)

[Hypancistrus]

Snapped a few pics in the last week... these are my new rats (pets)... Sophia is a blue and Rose is a white and blue. I think both have some rex in them... you can see how curly their whiskers are and their coats are somewhat coarse!

And lastly, a pic of my Children's Python, Chaos, doing his weird "tree hunting" behavior-- he only does this when food is in the air!

Please do! Thanks for the comments. I am pretty happy with the pics-- in fact I may borrow my sisters pants to take pics of my other critters!

I like your rats there really cute. Mine is sooo messy though. Do you guys litter box train them? Sorry for hijacking.

My rats are "mostly" litter trained. Everyone was trained until I rescued two boys and added them, and they are messy. The new boys are still learning. But I would say that 80% of their poop goes into the litter box. I don't use any type of wood bedding, I actually use fleece, it makes it easier to spot clean the cage. You just have to clean more often.

Aw cute pictures....rats sound like great pets.

I love Chaos!!

Can anyone give me a good link on how to litter train them? Mine at first seemed to be pooping in one spot but now seem to not be.

Rats are intelligent little critters, that why I don't use them for snake food, in no way can I bring myself to do it. I love the little guys.
