> I just picked him up. At first I thought he might strike but he didn't, just kinda sat there in my hand. I was amazed I always thought rat snakes were nasty, but this guys a sweetheart.

The first Gulf Hammock ratsnake I found was so placid in hand that I even thought he might be sick, so I kept him for awhile to nurse him back to health. He was fine all along, of course (and certainly had a healthy ratsnake's hearty appetite!), so after a couple of months I returned him exactly where I'd found him. In my opinion, they are very under-appreciated snakes.
