The nearest exotic pet store sells taiwanese rat hatchlings for $100, as apparently they're hard to come by around here, and I was unable to locate an online seller. I was considering purchasing one myself a few years ago but after being bitten several times and the snake darting out of my hands, I changed my mind and bought a cal king.

As for the russian rat, no local breeders exist and I was once again unable to locate them for sale online. they're also flighty, or so I've heard from the owner of Pets, Inc. who used to breed them.

As a beginner, you need an inexpensive, easily tamed colubrid that is still beautiful, and the corn or gopher snake fulfills that need, taterbug. Were you able to check out bhbreptiles.com? Reptile shows near you will also carry well-started baby corns and gophers.
