My guess is that it hatched last year. The oldest it could be is an 06 animal. Have you been able to feed your snake yet? I find that all of mine take f/t mice with no problem. You might start with a large fuzzy or a small hopper mouse for starters. Feed it about every five days this year, and then go to once a week.
Black Rats are wonderful snakes, and make a great starter animal. Since this is an animal from the wild, check it closely for mites, use aspen bedding, always have clean water in the cage, and always make sure the lid is secure. These animals are escape artests.
Good luck!
