I am thinking of getting one, but Ive never owned a rat snake. I love lucys and i love colubrids, and Id love to hear about everyones experience with them as far as temperental, handability, and care. Thanks!

I’ve kept a lot of different rat snakes, including Texas rats. I’ve had scaleless and scaled leucistic. As babies, they’re a tad annoying because they’re very flighty and they tend to pee on you every time you pick them up. As adults a lot of them grow out of that sort of behavior. Even a well-behaved rat snake is high energy and on the move all the time so just keep that in mind.
