: I am interested in raising a Black Rat Snake. I have heard
: conflicting opinions about how agressive they are. I would be interested
: in hearing your experiences in raising this species.

>>>>>>>>Matt is correct..in captivity OR in the wild.they are from one extreme to the next.
One will bite ALWAYS.and the next one will never bite or strike even.some will "false strike" with the mouth closed..some will bite and run.some will bite and chew...

BIGGEST black I ever found....wild...male....6 foot 6 inches (never saw the 7 and 8 footers people THINK they find)

like I say 6'6"..picked him up off the trail..put on neck.and he never ever bit..he DID watch TV alot though with the guy who kept him.....he lived under the couch..! really....

good luck.......JY
