I LOVE your photos, especially that one with your snake & plant in a jar...I've never thought to offer such a "snake toy". That's creatively awesome!
Black rat snakes (whether naturally black, albino or amelanistic) make great pets- easy to feed & handle, straight-forward to house, & yes, good swimmers.
Noodle is clearly a wonderful pet...thanks for sharing, you made my day! Rat snakes rock!![]()
