Here's a couple of updated pics of my 2005 black rat from Dwight Good. He's around a year old, maybe a litte less, and as you can see he's getting pretty darn black. When he gets older I'll use him for native species education. I'd say most of the black rats here in Virginia turn out as nice solid black adults, so my 05 male is just what I wanted.

Very nice Steve. I love solid black black rats. I saw a beauty, probably about 4.5' in Shenandoah National Park in June. He was sunning on the foundation of an abandoned barn. I say "he" because he had a prolapsed hemipene. When he noticed me he crawled into the barn and immediately went into a hole in the wall as if that was his usual hangout. He was solid black and beautiful. I wish I would have gotten a photo but I just wanted to watch him and be as unobstrusive as possible.
Yes Steve, hes is looking good. That snake looks so good, he could be from Hampton Roads!
This one is!
Great looking snake! Maybe it will come out like Molly.
God I need better pictures of her
