I am currently rehabbing a 5' male wc black rat snake. He is SO docile and intelligent. I LOVE him, but plan on letting him go where I found him once he is healed.

We currently have 4 cb pet snakes (see sig); and I convinced that our next snake needs to be a colubrid, all b/c of the black rat. They don't get as fat as pythons or boas. Thus, 6' feet or so is not intimidating. I think the normal adult length is 5' to 6'. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mike.
I pulled him from a brush pile that was about to be set on fire in a friends back yard back in 02 and he was just under 6' then.
That pic is a few years old.He was about 76" in the pic.
And yes,5-6 feet is normal adult length.There are a few 7'+ blackies out there somewhere.I once saw a photo of an albino that was over 8'.
