    I've had some really mellow rat snakes. I also had one that ended up being known as "The Disgusting Yellow Rat Snake." Not only did she bite, but she made it a point to crap all over whoever picked her up.

    The black rat snakes I've known were nice. I never kept one as a pet, but I picked up plenty of them and handled them when I lived on the farm. None of them ever bit me.
    "Why I Have Grey Hair," the story of my life:

    The cast: 0.1 het pied, Minnie, "Heartless." 0.1 pied, Dorothy, "The Girl Next Door." 0.1 mojave, Lily, "Stuck Up Little Princess." 0.1 pastel yb, Marilyn, "The Bombshell." 0.1 normal, Miss Maenad, "Femme Fatale." 1.0 dinker, Darth Jackass, "Scum of the Earth." 1.0 piebald, Mickey, "A Really Nice Guy." 1.0 jigsaw, Kaa, "The Young Dude." 0.1 cinnamon, Hera, "If Looks Could Kill" 0.1 pastel, Luna, "If It Moves, Eat It"

    Re: ratsnakes whats so wrong with keeping a captive rat snake?

    I know yellows have a bad rep but actually can be nice. Mine used to grab on when it bit and would twist and pull. it also bite anything that moved. she is now tame

    I have a Black Rat, and she is quite tame.

    You can see her if you search for my vids on Youtube - "knox2613". I think I have a couple of the Black Rat, feeding and handling.
