Why are some of the most incredible Asian rat snakes so difficult for American keepers to get their hands on? This week on Colubrid Corruption, we're joined by Oliver from O'Lin Snakes, a French keeper and breeder who has gone international with his collection and has a serious passion for Asian rat snakes.

We dive deep into Asian rat snakes and the Gonyosoma genus, including one of the rarest and most sought-after species in the hobby: Gonyosoma margaritatum. Oliver has captive-hatched margaritatum in his collection and shares his experience keeping these incredible snakes, along with his experience working with other Gonyosoma species.
