Rat snake or American rat snake?
I have a 10' Asian Blue Beauty that is not a record for its species. I'm told they can reach 12'.
Blues have an attitude to go with that size. Mine is named Demon and although he's settled down some he can sometimes show why he earned that name.
Keep in mind though he was a wild caught snake when I got him.
Captive bred will be better tempered.

I wrote earlier about that yellow I saw in Florida and there was another account of a big yellow so I would say for American rats snakes it would be a toss up between the Black and yellow rats. Both can be big. Gray rats can probably get some size too.
