Re: King Rat or Keeled Rat, anyone?
Black milk snakes! Size and beauty without the attitude. They can get between 6 and 7 feet long and are hefty snakes. They go through a cool transformation. They start out banded like your typical tricolor milk snake, and then they get black dots on the tips of their scales. Those black dots grow and spread out until the snake is solid iridescent black. They tend to be very docile. They come from the Costa Rican cloud forest so they take cooler temperatures.
They do tend to have a strong feeding response, so watch your hands at mealtime. But if you have an indigo you already know all about that....
