Kisatchie Q

I had heard there was some debate about whether or not kisatchies(sp?) are really corns and so I was wondering what kind of personality they have.
Are they generally as docile as other corns or are they a little more aggressive?
Thanks:)
 
i am new to them too, but after one temper tantrum after shipping, my two have calmed right down and handle just like my other corns,kjun on this site seems to be the man in the know on kisatchies, google his site, type in kjun cornsnakes or kisatchie and it should pull up. hope it helps!
 
I have a pair of K's myself and they are great.

Here is some info from South Mountain Reptiles/Don Soderberg
"Kisatchie: Pantherophis slowinskii
These have recently been described as a new species. They were formerly considered intergrades between corns and Emory's (great plains) rat snakes. They are still popularly considered to be a corn snake. Kisatchies are primarily found in Louisiana and extreme E. Texas. These are one of the darkest examples of the corn snake types. Most of ours exhibit "metallic" colors."

And here is what the most current Cornsnake Morph Guide by Charles Pritzel has to say:
These come from certain areas of Louisiana and texas, and are thought by many to e an intergrade of cornsnakes and emoryi ratsnakes. The new classification, which separates Elaphe into Pantherophis, considers them a separate species: Pantherophis slowinskii. Colors are in dark brown and grays and can look somewhat like very dark anerythristics. Cornsnakes can not be het for Kisatchie.

There is also www.kjunsnakehaven.com/kisatchie and he has a great write up on them!

Good luck and I hope this helps you out some.

Thanks for all the info:)
In some of the info I've found it sounds like they maybe get a little a bigger than normal corns. Is that right?
All the photos I've seen of them are just beautiful.
