Re: "Naval Rat" ? :S
Maybe. Mostly Nutria though and the occasional yappy little inbred toy breed dog (it's a start).
Burmese pythons are not indigenous to Florida either.
They eat what they can.
Just like in our care.
Thank you, you made my point FOR me.
Are there 'wild' hooded rats in Indonesia?

Re: "Naval Rat" ? :S
You missed my point and I choose not to reiterate it.
BTW, rat snakes eat rodents and birds, not necesarily rats.
Even though corn snakes ARE rat snakes, I heard they love to eat corn too. (kidding, not sure if you got that or not)...(also, bats, birds, and lizards).

Re: "Naval Rat" ? :S
Black Rat Snake - Black Rat Snake Fact Sheet - National Zoo| FONZ
"Diet in the Wild
Rat snakes are primarily known as rodent eaters, however other food preferences do exist. As juveniles, rat snakes eat small lizards, baby mice, and an occasional small frog. Adult rat snakes have a diet mainly consisting of mice and rats, but also include chipmunks, moles, and other small rodents. Adults also eat bird eggs and young. Rat snakes kill their prey by constriction. "
Texas Rat Snake - Texas Rat Snake
"As the name implies, the Texas Rat Snake's primary diet is mice and rats, causing them to be commonly seen in any place inhabited by rodents - including human homes."
Corn Snake - Corn Snake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Corn Snakes have a diet primarily consisting of rodents, mostly mice and rats."
Ball Python - Python regius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"In the wild, the diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as African soft-furred rats, shrews and striped mice."
Carpet Python - Carpet Pythons
"They possess several modifications which allow them to successfully stalk, capture, and subdue their prey (mice, rats, birds, possums, marsupials etc)."
To say snakes in the wild do not eat rats is just silly.
And that is the last I will post in this thread...we have gotten WAY off course and are on something irrelevant to the original purpose of the thread.

Re: "Naval Rat" ? :S
First, the losely termed "rodents" in all of these quotes you so studiously provided, are likely not European hooded rats (which is the common rat in the pet trade in North America). These are DOMESTICATED rats, not wild rats.
Bred in North America for the last two hundred years for the pet trade. They are also not indigenous.
As for your above post, I can really only offer tons of experience and knowledge about ball pythons 'cause that's my thing.
You can't be more wrong.
Ball pythons DO NOT eat African Soft Furred Rats.
Wikipedia (the preeminent source of knowledge for the lazy and feebleminded) and you, for quoting them, are wrong. Gasp!!! Natals, or African Soft Furred Rats, despite their name, are indigenous to Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Ball pythons are indigenous to West Africa.
To save you from having to go back to Wikipedia; they are thousands of miles apart.

You know the answer to that one...
I'm disheartened that quite possibly, we are now in a society that would rather be "Wiki-fied" than knowledgeable or intelligent.
