The Chinese will usually be a bit smaller than the Taiwanese from what I've read. I don't have any personal experience with adults of either species.

Here is a link to a good website for researching ratsnakes.

Wow! I had no idea there were so many ratsnakes... I have been wanting a Mandarin ratsnake every since I saw one... Now that I know I could get a bigger one with a Vietnam specimen, I want one more then ever...
