This is the kind of snake I had.
It’s a black rat snake. It was a really cool snake. They can be feisty and will readily strike, at first. So, a little care is necessary to avoid a bite. But, they settle down fairly quickly if you handle them right.
They also take thawed frozen rats readily. Mine wasn’t a fussy eater. And, it never had issues shedding, either.
I wouldn’t mind having another, or it’s more colorful cousin, the corn snake.
But, I don’t have any of my herp gear, anymore. I’d have to start all over.

Wise of ya, Bro!
You have an agreement!
Years ago, when I was about fourteen, my step-dad (now deceased) took me to a friend of his family down in Tennessee, I believe. This guy had a tobacco farm and he had a HUGE bull snake. The bull snake is one of the largest, if not the most massive, non-venomous snakes in North America. I was able to see “his” snake atop a pile of wood chips. It was one of the largest snakes I had ever seen.
The tobacco farm owner had a similar “agreement” with that bull snake.
He left it alone; and it took care of rodent issues.
Totally organic, non-GMO pest control!
