Thanks for your help identifying my snake. I have pictures of another as well. This one is much smaller and loves earth worms. They live together with no problems (for now) They spend a lot of time coiled together on the heated side of the tank.

I would also appreciate any advice on the enclosure as well. It is a 20 gallon tank (12x12x30". There is a heating pad on the left side set on medium heat. I have a drinking bowl and a soaking bowl. Rocks to hide under on each end and a screen top with clips. The substrate is crushed walnut shells I purchased at the pet store. That is what they were using. I also have plans for a climbing limb. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. (photo of enclosure in my gallery along with a better shot of the rat snake)

An Id on the little snake that I saved from death in the girls locker room here at school would be helpful as well.



Will my black rat snake get darker or lighter. will her pattern get more visible or less...sooo many questions!!
