Here's a few pics for Monklot(Brad) & anyone else that wants to check out my 08 Montogomery co. North Carolina Blk rat, that I picked up from Uwharrie reptiles last year. These pics show the progression of how black he's turned in around 9 months of time. First pic around August 08, last two pics shot today. He is just about solid black on the last third of his body. I would imagine the rest of him will be solid black withing the next nine months of time. Steve

Very cool Steve, he's lookin' good.

He should be a stunner!

Thanks Todd. He's well on his way

Nice progression! Nice snake too. I love black rats. Thanks for sharing the pics with locale information. I'd love to put something together with locale and pattern info. Like a website for posting pics and where the specimen was found. Black Rat pattern seems to vary by locale. I will be thinking on this,,,,,

Awesome. Just like I like 'em Yeah, a web site similar to the Eastern Kingsnake site would be great for black rats (and other rats for that matter).

I couldn't agree more Mike.

>>Awesome. Just like I like 'em Yeah, a web site similar to the Eastern Kingsnake site would be great for black rats (and other rats for that matter).

Excellent idea. Just like the other poster said, something simular to the Eastern king resource site, except for North American ratsnakes.
