Not to be a stick-in-the-mud, but since the discussion is about making money, keep in mind Frank has been doing this for many years and probably has a reputation and a following of eager customers. Someone just starting out has to compete with people like Frank, as well as pay for marketing, advertising, shmoozing on forums, etc. One thing many people seem to forget that time is money.
Okay, enough preaching. Rat snakes are awesome. One of my favorite snakes ever was a big, ole yellow rat snake I caught down in Florida. Tried to take my head off when I first caught him, but tamed down within an hour. Don't think he ever tried to bite after that.
Thanks,
Ed

>>>>Rat snakes just happen to be my favorite animals. I have bred and kept MANY American rat snake species. All VERY easy to breed and some very TESTE in nature if you don't work with them. All my Texas rats have mellowed and the babies from them seem to carry their more pleasant disposition. For Lucy Black Rats try Don Soderberg
