It is diurnal and primarily feeds on rodents, birds, and occasionally small reptiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1560\" data-start=\"1311\"\u003eThe species has a slender, elongated body with smooth scales, typically brown or olive in colour, sometimes with faint longitudinal markings. Its size and speed make it an active hunter capable of covering considerable distances in search of prey.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1831\" data-start=\"1562\"\u003eIn captivity, Indo-Chinese Rat Snakes require spacious enclosures with climbing opportunities, hiding spots, and a water source. Maintaining proper temperature, humidity, and a diet of appropriately sized prey supports healthy growth, activity, and natural behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":52893580329297,"sku":"chinese-rat-snake - 001","price":158.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Ptyas-korros_2.jpg?v=1769297361","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/chinese-rat-snake","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
