Re: Black Ratsnake husbandry questions?
Black rats grow way too big for that type box. You need to look into something about 5'x2'x2' or bigger, depending on whether you have a medium or larger size black rat. There's quite some variation (from 4' to 6'+). I can imagine that type box to be good for the first 2 years only.
They are diurnal snakes, they like a good provision of light, something to use for climbing. I wouldn't stick such a snake in a plastic box, it's not even fun for you to look at.
