That guy is an identical twin in pattern, color and size to the one I rescued from a neighbor's yard three years ago, except his attitude is classic Texas rat -- pugnacious as can be, though he does calm down when those tongs appear dangling a thawed rat. I do admire black rats as among the most common of all snakes, able to live most anywhere, tough, durable, adaptive and handsome. Nothing wimpy about them!
