Re: Black Rat snake?
Update: I bought a black rat snake from a guy that had one in the local ad this past saturday. $60 for the juvenile, ten gallon tank, and a lamp. Hes about 18 inches, and pretty nippy, but I expected that since hes been stressed. The guy said the last time he was fed was three weeks ago! First feeding attempt was sunday. I planned on moving him to a 30 gallon, but the heat lamp i have isnt powerful enough, so i moved him back to the ten until i can upgrade heating to flexwatt and a bigger heat lamp lampin the next couple weeks. I had an UTH, but it was melting. He finally ate today! Will be feeding again in the next couple days. He has been sexed, so we named him Loki. Im so excited! Any tips or input is welcome.
