In captiivty, the Taiwanese Beauty Rat Snake needs fresh water at all times. As juveniles, they can be a little skittish and standoffish, and you may need to handle them often to get them used to you. This Rat Snake will let you know when it feels threatened by "rattling" the end of its tail and drawing itself up into an "S" shaped loop. In the wild they live in the forests of Taiwan and are very common there. Though they are not arboreal snakes they can climb trees. The Taiwan Beauty Rat Snake does not require much maintenance and if you care for them properly they will live a long life.
