They get six feet? Oh my. I brought one home the day before yesterday, a much bigger, adultish version.

The up side is that I have plenty of room for him and his six-foot-ness :D

I caught one over six feet near the blue ridge parkway when I was a teenager. Except for being bitten by a retic, I never had a nastier bite. Grabed him about and too far back from his head and he started chomping lol

Very nice wee Rat Snake :D Love the head markings!

6 feet is average my uncle had an evil monstrous 8 footer that passed away in '99 awesome snakes handle them as much as possible to keep them calm cause they are fast as hell. good luck with him = ]
