Depending on where you caught it, depends what it might eat. The ones where I live seem to prefer Garter snakes. Something I will not resort too. Some take mice right from the get go. The babies are tough.

One sure fire method-collect a gravid female, incubate and hatch out her clutch, then offer the tiniest of newborn pinks to the neonates after the first shed. Usually at least some will accept within a couple of trys, and if they eat once they'll keep going and do great....

lampropeltis triangulum triangulum, the eastern milksnake. not a rat snake at all is my guess.
