I don't keep any obsoleta rats, unless you count Baird's, but my corns/Emory's seem to digest pretty fast.

Maybe we're looking at a couple of variables here, one being that black ratsnakes are a larger snake and grows larger faster, and the other the fact that corns tend to need a little warmer temps than most ratsnakes when digesting.

I have a group of corns (rootbeers) that are eating about every fifth day at this time. The temps are pretty high this time of year and they are putting on some good growth. At the same temps the other ratsnakes may seem to be digesting faster.
