Black Rat snake?
Im thinking about getting a black rat, elaphe obsoleta, and I have some questions. Are they as docile as common morph corns? Ive heard both ways. They are tree climbers, right? So how tall of a cage do I need? As far far as temp and humidity Im guessing it would need 70-85F, and 50-80% percent like most colubrids right? Would it be okay to have some live plants and such? Do they need uv? How much? As far as feeding, a med rat once a week until age 4 or 5, then every two weeks? should I start the hatchling on something smaller?
