Elaphe carinata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The King Ratsnake (also known as Taiwan Stink Snake), Elaphe carinata is a species of Colubrid snake found in Southeast Asia and East Asia.


Description

Elaphe carinata is a large snake with total length up to 240 cm (94 in). The other common names "stink snake" or "stinking goddess" refer to this species' highly developed post-anal glands which, when the snake is picked up, are frequently emptied, with a very strong, bad odour.[1]




Elaphe carinata is an active, predatory snake that eats everything from beetles to birds to snakes, with particular preference for the latter.[1]
The common name of "King ratsnake" refers to its habit of eating other snakes, including venomous species such as the Chinese cobra and the sharp-nosed viper. It suffocates its prey by constriction, similar to the hunting technique of boas and pythons. It also preys on rodents and other small animals.




There is some concern among herpetoculturists that the King Ratsnake may actually be more closely related to the kingsnakes of the genus lampropeltis than to its current taxonomic family of the ratsnakes (elaphe). This is due in part to the dietary habits of the King Ratsnake, in particular its preference for ectothermic prey such as snakes and lizards, and to the physical structure of the head, which is far less distinct than that of most rat snakes and closely resembles the elongated head and indistinct neck structure of the kingsnakes.
Distribution: China, North Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan (Ryukyu Islands).[2]

Use

Elaphe carinata is one of major species in snake trade in China, particularly in skin trade but also of live animals.[3] In Taiwan, it is the most commonly available snake in restaurants.[1]

Other Info:
Elaphe carinata is a large heavy built snake, ranging in size from 4-6ft, (100-200cm), with some specimens becoming larger, so provide with a spacious terraium with a loose substrate as they like to dig. Being mostly terrestrial they are known to inhabit open forest areas, bamboo thickets, fields and meadows and have also been collected near houses. Specimens have been collected during the day as well as at night.
E. carinata are very easy to keep and breed. They will eat almost anything including rodents, birds and bird eggs, and other snakes. They have even been known to eat their own kind, so be careful not to house larger animals with younger ones.


Mating usually takes place in the spring with 6-12 eggs being laid in early-mid summer, taking 40-60 days for incubation. Hibernate for 2-4 months for best results.
The common name "stink snake" or "stinking Goddess" refers to this species' highly developed post-anal glands, that when picked up are frequently emptied, with a very strong, bad odor.
The common name of "King ratsnake" refers to its habit of eating other snakes.
There are three recognized subspecies, E. c. carinata found throughout most of China and northern Vietnam. E. c. yonaguniensis, found on the island of Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.
E. c. deqenensis, known from only a few specimens, are found only in Northwest Yunnan province, China.
