Captive hatched or wild caught? Makes a difference.

My black rat is 17 years old, almost 8', and was captive hatched from wild eggs in Baltimore, MD.

If your Black Rat is 8 feet it think you have a world record size Black Rat! We need a pic.

No, the World record is 101". I am striving for the World record but he/she doesn't eat like it used to. I don't think it'll make the record. I have really old pics. From 7 years ago or so. It' hard to get a pic that really shows its length.

I think the Official World Record as stated in all the Field Guides is for wild-caught animals only.

A 102" Black Rat would be a sight to behold for sure!!!

I am so not lesdysxic!

0.1 Creamsicle Cornsake "Yolanda"
1.0 Bairds Ratsnake "Steely Dan"
0.1 Desert Kingsnake "FATTY"
0.1 Black Rat "Roberta" RELEASED!!!

A Black Rat Snake will top out at 5 to 6 feet. The second photograph down second cage down is
2.5 x2.5 x2.5 more or less. It is appropriate for an adult but some wild caught adults will pace anyway.

LOL, stop it, you're killin' me Sighthunter! Seriously, he is right though, I use many sizes and different applications according to mostly humidity needs.
