New Black Rat

[knox]

Black Rat from ReptMart. Not much more to say...

Edit - I am VERY happy with my experience with Reptmart. I would order from them without hesitation.

Congrats, she's lovely and alert. Hope she's settling in ok.

[knox]

She is, thank you! In quarantine for a few days to check for mites, then into the rack she goes.

[sharthun]

Awesome Rat my friend! Brings back memories! She's going to an awesome addition. Thanks for vid as well!

I love ratsnakes. That bite was great. Didn't look like it did much at all.

[knox]

Nope. Just startled me a little

[jpsteele80]

That's a pretty spiffy looking rat snake :D

She will be melting in your hands soon!:D

Congrats on the new addition Knox. I've talked to Jamie at Reptmart before and she was great. Even though they didn't have what I was looking for, she went out of her way to help.

Good to know she's consistent, EL!

Here are a couple more pics I just took with different lighting.

They are big Rat Snake eyes, for sure LOL

And a belly full of mouse. A great sight on a new acquisition:

Nice bulge my friend! Congrats!:D

She is GORGEOUS! I definitely want to add more rat snakes to my collection.. If I decide to order one in, it's good to know a reliable place!

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, they have a good reputation.

Beautiful snake. I'm glad to hear you had a good experience. I'm very sketchy about ordering animals online so it's nice to hear other members experiences.

[knox]

Yeah, ordering online can definitely be hit or miss. I have certainly read horror stories.

My gray rat snake came from Reptmart. Everything I've read says that they're a top notch breeder/seller, so I'd buy from them again in the future.

All kinked up, as Black Rats tend to do:

[Mikoh4792]

haha! What's the reason for why they do that?

[sharthun]

Lookin good brother Knox!:cool:

No one really knows. Common speculation is for camouflage.
