Oh I have a young albino Texas Rat snake. Milk white with torquoise blue eyes. He is not violent tempered like the others we have around here. AKA "Piney Woods Pythons" Tex Rats grow up to 7.5'. If you find one in your chicken house it is cornered so they will rear up chest high and then its hand to handless combat. They will bite you bloody. So you have to fake them out with one hand, when they go for it and strike past you try and catch them behind the head with your other hand. Its quite an adrenalin rush. They are fine animals. I like a creature that will defend itself. They like to eat eggs, and also rats. You probably have something like it where you live.
