I don't need a rating since this is an ambassador animal at my local wildlife rehab, but I had to share this poor sad unenriched beast that has nothing better to do than try to scale the smooth wall apparently (with bonus aftermath of the tumble) 😂 gotta wonder what goes through their silly little heads when they do something like this when there's clearly a perfectly climbable wall right there. I feel like this is the snake equivalent of getting your cat a lovely toy fit for all their preferences and they'd much rather bat around the tag that came attached to it.

What a goofy baby! You can plan out the best enrichment in the world and your ratsnake is STILL gonna try to climb the bare wall right next to it.

Are albino rat snakes unhealthy?

Albino snakes in general are absolutely fine and ethical to breed and buy. In mammals, albinism is associated with a whole host of issues, but the same isn't true for snakes.

The biggest issue you'll find in any snake with a morph that has reduced melanin is that their eyes will be more sensitive. This generally isn't a big deal in the slightest because snakes have lousy vision to begin with, and as long as you avoid shining bright lights into an albino snake's enclosure they will have a 100% normal quality of life.

Im rarely home at this hour on a sunny day, so it was a nice surprise to find Tipsy basking in the natural sunlight coming through the window. He seemed to enjoy it, up until I burdened him with my presence.. sorry Tipsy 🐉
