>>I've never kept any rats other than corns, and i had some black rat questions. About how large do they get and what is their temperment like. Also, what size cage am i gunna be looking at for an adult. Texas Rats are a bit more agressive right? at the moment im trying to decide between a leucistic black rat, or a leucistic texas rat? any suggestians. I currently have 5 other snakes and plenty of lizards, im just unfamiliar with rats. Please respond, Thanks alot guys

I like 40 gallon tanks for my adult black rats. They can easily exceed 6 feet and the extra room can be good for exersise.

Now if this your first rat snake I would go with the black rat. They are usually pretty docile and they are always a good introduction to rat snakes IMHO.
