    Re: Ratsnakes are more arboreal than i thought!

    I live in arkansas and around my house Black rats are in a large abundance. But anyways on a couple field herps ive caught many black rats, but what was cool was that one was up in a tree and the other tried to escape by climbing a tree. I was quiet impressed at the very good climbing abilities.

    Cute pic! Both of my corns used to do that too when they were young. Rat snakes are amazing climbers. There are some pictures out there of them scaling the sides of trees just by using the bark.
