The Mandarin Ratsnake (Euprepiophis mandarinus) is often called one of the most beautiful snakes in the world!
With their striking black and yellow banding and calm temperament, they’re a favourite among reptile keepers and photographers alike.
But here’s the really cool part…
Mandarin ratsnakes come from the cool, forested mountain regions of China, Vietnam, and Thailand — and unlike most snakes, they actually prefer lower temperatures!
Too much heat can stress them out, so they thrive in cooler, well-ventilated enclosures.
Nature’s little gem that proves not all snakes love it hot!
