This boy is getting big.

Both he and the female have become rather tame, and they really like to eat.

Very handsome pair! I passed up a pair like that at the white Plains show last summer and have been regreting it ever since.

I like the size. These are three and a half, and in the 5' range. And just packed with muscle. The male in particular seems to still be putting on length at a steady pace. Pretty impressive.

The same with my female, she is big, about 4.5 feet and thick, but the male makes her look small, I will try to get some pic's up soon, I only have a cell phone to take pic's. I do have some pic's tp upload and post but they are kind of crappy.

Way to under-estimate, Frank! Those snakes you've got are pushing 6' if I had to guess! BIG,BIG,B-I-G!!!

I like the orange and black scales that show up from time to time. I think it gives them character! Here's my female Black Rat, she has two orange specs on her scales.

They both have a couple orange and black "specs".

awesome and he isn't done growing yet, I have a 8 year old male and female they are HUGE, the male making the female look tiny. (garbage disposal). He is over 6 feet and is about 1.5 times as thick as your male....all muscle...

He has a huge head. At this point he just seems to put on length while the female is getting more stocky. It seems to me that some of the more girthy American rats with big heads that I've seen have been texans.
