Re: i need help!
1. 40-60%
2. 75'F ambient with 82-85'F warm area
3. Personally, I suggest a lot of space for most rat snakes since they are active and arboreal. I'd go with a 55 gal for each snake separately.
3. In theory, yes, every animal comes with the hardware. And yes, Black rat snakes and Texas rat snakes are sub species of each other, so the cross would be an intergrade, which does naturally occur sometimes in the wild.
4. Babies can be snippy, but they can mellow. No different than most American ratsnakes
5. 5-6 ft. which is why I suggest at least a 4-ft cage (55 gal)
6. I hate cage liners. Snakes ALWAYS get underneath them and poop on the glass, making the liner useless. Use bedding. I suggest cypress, aspen, or bark.
7. I would not let them co-habitate year-round. If your goal is to breed them, I'll let those more experienced than myself give advice on that.
8. I'm sure there's several all over the web, and each one with conflicting info from the last.
9. It is a genetic defect attached the same trait that gives them leucism. Not every leucistic TX rat snake has it, and some have it worse than others. Basically makes the eyes bulge out. It really does not impede the animal in any way as far as I know, but it can make them look odd or funny, which is one reason many people do not like them, and/or genetic mutations in general.
