Just read your comments below the vid. and seen you bought him that size. You may not be able to answer my question. Also, even at this age, he is also constantly nose rubbing the screen to try and escape, is this really a sign of being male?
@rvanderzel - yes i already bought him at that size, it generally takes a snakes 4 to 6 years to hit full size. and the nose rubbing thing is just a theory i had as all the snakes i have had that have been male have done that
I gotta ask man, how long did it take for him to get full grown. My Grey Rat is 2 years old and about as wide as my thumb but maybe a little bigger. He is about 36 in. and eating once a week. I am just wondering if he's small for his age. They say it takes 4 years to get full size.
there was a snake near my house that was sitting on a hay bail and it was about 8 feet long and some one told me that it was a rat snake but i live in eastern ontario and ussally u only see garden snakes and coper snakes so if u know if these live in eastern ontario near ottawa then can u plz let me now
nice snake :) shame you got rid :( just a quick question... i have a juvie bairds rat snake, when he is ready for his adult viv will a 36" be fine or do they need the 48"?
@sparkingtonstanly - i have another rat snake just like him look on my channel, and with your snake i think a 36" will do just fine i dont think he will be a 6 and a half foot to 7 foot monster, i dont think the bairds rat snake grows as big as the grey/black rat snake
@hubertgreen -lol i wouldnt go that far but these things can amazingly swallow some large food haha mine swallowed a large chicken egg whole the other day, it sure was a mouthful
hi! i just got a very small rat snake a week ago, and i wanted to know what kind of stuff i could feed him (other than lil mice)..please! any tip could help
@qHighFlyerp - yes i understand i use a basic set up as it is easier to clean them out the snakes dont mind, but newspaper is far by so easy to clean out when they poo
@Juvinator7 - alot of people think rat snakes are just like corn snakes but personally i would not say they are, you keep northamerican rat snakes at a slightly cooler basking temperature than that of a corn snake, (about 83F, where a corn will prefer 84 to 85F) also at snakes are capable of being double the size of a corn snake, not just in length but in bulk and head size aswell, my one is a beast and is capable of eating fully grown rats, i dont however coz i dont want him getting overweight
@Juvinator7 rat snakes make great pets for beginners. i have a yearling & my 2 yr old nephew plays with it no problem. sometimes a little skittish but not agressive
@199252208 - i believe he was in the 6 and a half foot to 7 foot range, he is an old snake i no longer have this particular one, but i have another now of the same species and almost as big as he was check him out in my videos on my channel
@MrYawners - no it is not, the grey or black rat snake grows significantly larger and has a much larger head than that of a corn snake, enabling the animal to swallow much larger meals such as large rats, whereas the largest thing the worlds biggest corn snake could swallow is probably a small rat
@MrYawners -because they are the same genus, the same family but they are different species. for example its like saying a tiger,lion and leopard are all the same but they aren't. however this specis can breed with a corn snake but the offspring would be a hybrid
found one of these in my back yard that was 4 and a half feet, i killed it or at least i thought i did i came back an hour later and it was still alive so i cut its head off, these things are thuff
@CALLOFDUTYFREAK950 - not corn snake mate, this is a rat snake 6 and a half foot long, massive head and the girth near enough of an adult royal python, no corn snake gets this big
@Heatseeker872591 Yes very scared I was walking out to the shop a few weeks ago and when I opened the shop door it hit one of the bradford tree limbs right in front of the shop and when I hit the limb a baby rat snake landed on my arm and ever since then i'm kinda frightend by a snake thank god it wasn't a full grown one though or else I would have had a heart attack. lol
@12badluck - i woudnt really know as i not had any experience with hatchlings but most rat snakes can easily live in a 3 foot by 15inches wide and high until the snake exceeds 6 feet in total length
@fishnmaster420 - thank you but unfortunatley he wasnt looked after by previous owner, when i got him i later found out due to unusual pooing behaviour that he had some sort of parasites which i was trying to cure him, unfortunatley even a great reputable reptile vet couldnt cure him, so sadly i passed him on to someone else who believed he could cure him, god knows where he is now. but on the other hand yesterday i got another specimen just like him and fingers crossed that hes a healthy1
Ok i got a 2 part question. First are the males usually bigger than females cause i have an adult male albino and he is huge. I bought him full grown this year. and second, isnt that the killer instinct video game theme song you have playing there?
@nsane992002 - yes males are usually bigger but it depens on the genetics of that individual u get small males and big males and small females and big females, and yes it is killer instinct lol
omg my rat snake is crazy! i picked him up and touched him and he freaked out on me! good thing hes not really mine, only taking care of him for the summer. my corn snake is way nicer than him =.=
@TMSreptiles - not at all ,he is a 6 and a half foot , could be nearer to 7 foot, american grey rat snake. closely related to corn snakes and can infact inter breed with them to create hybrids or intergrades. but no corn snake could reach this size and im not talking about length im talking about head size and body mass aswell Magnum is capable of eating a fully grown rat
@TMSreptiles - lol i can assure you, even the largest of corn snake specimens will be dwarfed by him. i think in future if i still be keeping snakes that these are what i will probably have, they have a minimum size of 5 feet and a max of 8 feet so no matter what they grow to a large size lol i have a corn snake also whos nearly 4 years old and only 4 feet long and hes got a tiny head lol
@geomango20 - well i have only had him 2 months, hes 6 and a half years old but as healthy as he looks he certainly isnt/wasnt, after i got him i realized he had mites, a mild RI and some sort of problem where he poops everyday. he definatley wasnt looked after properly by the original owner, i have taken him to the vets and managed to eliminate the mites and the mild RI but i am going to have to take him back again to see what is causing him the problem to shit everyday,
That male is quite handsome!! I have a female named Lusea. I have had her for about 2 yrs now, and when i first got her, she was little over 2 ft long. she is now 4 ft, 7 inches long. The last time I measured her was about a month ago when she last shed. She eats atleast 2-3 frozen adult mice per week when feeding. She looks like your boy here, only she has more black in her, and orange eyes. too bad u didnt live in michigan. i'd totally mate her with him!
@jeimikaze - many thanks for your reply. yes i totally am pleased to own such a huge rat snake. thinking of taking him to the reptile vet soon for a quick check up tho coz i just got a sixth sense that he wasnt looked after to well by the previous owner, as he has been pooping every 2 days near enough in the month i have owned him and i have only ever fed him 3 times in that month. (one small rat a fortnight) due to i think he has been over fed.
@reptiles115 - thanks for your comment, thats the first thing i said when i first see him for sale at the pet store lol i just had to have him he looks so magnificent. the pet shop owner has had some big corns and rat snakes in in the past but SNAKE is the biggest lol
@carscarsandmorecars - yes he is very active and constantly up against the glass, a bit of a shy feeder tho at the mo i had to leave the mouse in a dish and leave the room for him to feed
@BeneethTheSurface - pet shop owner said that he is around 6 and a half years old which isnt even old for a snake lol, original owner traded him in for a boa
@puppetmaster2122 thanks, i always been into rat snakes and wanted the ultimate one lol looks like here he is. i know no corn snake will ever get this big, not even a hybrid one
