Re: Black rat snakes as pets?
They are definitely interesting snakes! I love to see them cruising around. Of course, it's hard not to pick up any snake I see, so I always get tagged by the racers.

Great pics in that other thread!

Re: Black rat snakes as pets?
I love my black rat snake. He was wild caught/rescued but has adjusted well. He eats better than all of my captive bred snakes and has never been agressive when properly supported. He scares my fiance a little since he is still new to snakes but they are warming up to each other. One of my faves to be honest. I heard racers were mean but the person who told me that also asked if I wanted a towel to ride my horse with so... But Draco is a great snake I would love to get another some day.

Re: Black rat snakes as pets?
My black racer is strictly a hands off kind of guy. He even thumps his head into the glass trying to strike at us from within the cage.

Makes me love him even more.

Re: Black rat snakes as pets?
Aww, I don't know if I would be ok with having something I couldn't handle. Your racer is very cute though.
