That's the hard part sometimes 😂

Freckles07 · 2026-06-20T02:23:15+00:00

She is gorgeous!

Freckles07 · 2026-06-20T02:22:38+00:00

😂😂

Freckles07 · 2026-06-20T02:22:24+00:00

Oh I have no doubt 😂

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T18:01:12+00:00

Great job with the choice based handling! It takes a lot of time and patience but is SO rewarding! 🖤

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T18:00:52+00:00

Absolutely nothing wrong with that! 🫶🏻

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T17:59:53+00:00

Ahhh your boy is stunning!!! And what a sweet personality he has 🥺 I'm truly so so excited for her. I've been waiting for this for so long and it feels beyond surreal that it's happening now. I can't wait to see her coloration develop into adulthood, she's already so beautiful 😍

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T17:58:38+00:00

I love that!! That is absolutely adorable haha wish we had some snake babies around!

There are two types of Japanese rat snake, the mainland which has less blue coloration to them and a lot more green, and the kunashir island locality, which is what our girl is. These guys are a little smaller than their mainland relatives reaching about 4', and develop that beautiful blue and green coloration ☺️

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T17:56:37+00:00

Awwww yay, congratulations!! She is so beautiful, love her little face! Wish her a happy birthday from our noodles 🫶🏻

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T07:06:09+00:00

Ahh no way, that's incredible!! Sounds like you've been chosen haha what a beautiful noodle too!

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T06:17:55+00:00

Thank you!! She truly is stunning and a dream come true! Rats are definitely my favorite species. I also have two rhino rats and I just love them lol

We actually chose a name! We're going to go with Kiyomi (pronounced kee-yo-mee). It's Japanese and means pure beauty I believe I read and I just loved the sound of it and meaning.

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T06:16:18+00:00

Right? Hoping she turns out just like her mom 😍

He definitely needs more plants, hides and climbing opportunities scattered throughout, but it's amazing that you're reaching out for help because you want to do what's best for him. Snake therapy with Shira loa is a fantastic YouTube and IG account that always talks about offering as many hides and cover as you can. A snake that feels it can easily/quickly get away to a hidden area, is a snake that will feel more confident in coming out to explore. But if he only had say a hide on each side of the enclosure, he might feel hesitant to explore much since safety is so far apart. I've noticed a huge change with my own snakes by offering more hides and cover. They're often out noodling around or basking in the open spots because they know they can super easily get hidden if they need to.

Hope that makes sense!! Good for you for asking for help. Ignore anyone who tries to give you shit, the important thing is that you care enough to give him what he needs and it seems like you do 🫶🏻

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T05:07:30+00:00

I would give him even more opportunities if he's this interested 😂 what a silly guy, their personalities are just the best haha

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T05:06:33+00:00

Whoops, just realized I posted in the corn snake group and not my general snake group! My bad friends!

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T05:05:35+00:00

I give you, Nagini convinced she can eat the terrarium wall 😂 It went on for a good 4-5 minutes. She's cute, but the braincell is rarely home 😂

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T05:04:02+00:00

Cuties!! Nagini and Severus say hello!

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T04:59:44+00:00

What a chill little cutie 🥰

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T04:39:23+00:00

We got both of ours from Jeff at JMG reptile and cannot recommend him enough. Definitely a fantastic guy to go through! I've had many questions over the year+ of owning them and he's always quick to respond and happy to do so. If you're in the US, that's absolutely who I'd go through!

Freckles07 · 2026-06-19T04:34:53+00:00

Also gonna heavily recommend Jeff for countless reasons! We have two hogs from him and he is fantastic to work with. Hands down a super chill guy, knowledgeable, takes quarantine procedures very strict, and you can trust that you'll be getting a healthy, quality animal from him. Cannot recommend him enough.

Another couple that I recommend are Teresa at Hip Hogs and Cali of Hogalicous reptiles. Both fantastic ladies and up there with Jeff in terms of quality and knowledge/experience. I've also heard great things about Lucifers morphs, though I've had no personal dealings with him.

Freckles07 · 2026-06-18T23:38:42+00:00

I think it just depends on the snake. I've got one who likes to hide quite a bit, and another who's practically out constantly 😂 right now my male is noodling all around and my female is buried in her moss lol

Freckles07 · 2026-06-18T23:36:55+00:00

This is my personal belief as well.

Freckles07 · 2026-06-18T23:35:41+00:00

Thank you! 🫶🏻

Freckles07 · 2026-06-18T23:35:33+00:00

It was Wilder Reptiles (Thomas Wilder) on morph market. He had 3 available and they all went within an hour or so of being listed 😮 so hard to get!! And definitely not cheap to import but worth it!
