Now that's a solid-colored snake.

I don't find very many pure black ones. Most have some white patterning to them. Occasionally I will find a few with Red or orange and black checkared bellies.

I hope that you will post a series of pictures as this little guy starts to darken. That is a very nice young snake. In the wild, I have seen Black Rat Snakes that were a very dark shade of brown and not the usual black. With as much brown as is showing now, I would like to see how it turns out. You also have a very nice snake that looks well cared for. Keep posting pictures for us.
