Really, a black rat? All the pics I saw of black rats that weren't actually all black said that the coloration was juvie. But like I said, at 5' long it's hard to think of it as a juvenile!
It's definitely a climber. I had it wrapped around my neck and it stretched a good 18" or so straight up towards the light on the ceiling, and seemed more interested in coiling around my arms and neck than most other snakes I've caught. By the time I caught the it it had finished crossing the road and was in someone's yard; the birds in the tree a few feet away were going ballistic as the snake headed towards it, so I have the distinct impression they thought it was a climber too.
