:By the time my babies are six or seven months old, they're black, and showing practically no blotching. You baby looks to me to be a "greenish" phase. :Tricia ::: :

This is the typical color of the Kentucky locale black rat snakes. He may darken up somewhat, but will maintain the pattern. I grew up in Southeastern Missouri, and all of our black rat snakes there are jet black. Kind of funny that 5 hours west just across the Mississipi river the black rats are jet black and here they maintain most or the coloration and patterns of the juveniles. The rat snakes have to be my favorite of all snakes, with the milks and kings coming in 2nd.
:I rather doubt that he'll ever turn really black. If he's a year old, his colour is virtually what it will always be.
:::This is a pic of my black rat snake. I took them tonight and measured him. He is a year old this month and 32 - 33" long!! Growing like a weed!! His colors havent really darkened up that much. But he is only a year old. I think he may be a fairly decent sized black snake!
