I found this girl curled up inside an aluminum pipe in a pretty much abandoned shed.

  • black rats seem to be every where this year

  • Actually, I have yet to see a Black Rat this year, but I turned up a monster Black Racer that I will be posting a video of shortly.

  • My Mangrove was $75, but that price varies depending on a lot of factors. I was never bitten by mine but I've heard the effects can include nausea, headache, and dizziness. These would probably only occur with a full envenomation, but it would be wise not to take a bite at all. I always treated mine as though I would treat any venomous snake (meaning I used a hook to transfer it while cleaning its cage).

  • Awsome, black rats are hit and miss up here. They pop up when you least expect it. They are still fairly common though. What I mean is, they are hard to go out and actually try to find one. When your not looking is when they show up. For me anyways... Happy herping!

  • Agreed Jake. This is the only spot that I can consistently go to find them. And even then it's probably less than a 50% chance of them being there.

  • Hey do you ever get any kings?

  • No, and let me tell you, I'd LOVE to see a nice Eastern Chain King, but they have evaded me thus far. I think I spotted one once climbing on the side of an old abandoned house near my dad's, but by the time I came back with a ladder to go up and get it, it had disappared.

  • My two favorite animals in the world are gopher snakes and black rat snakes. It doesn't matter to me if they are wild or not they are just beautiful, amazing creatures, I just love snakes.

  • That looks like a south alabama pissed of rat snake.

  • Hey that's awesome man! What a find! We only have two species of snake here in UK.. Grass and Adder...(I ain't came across neither in the wild) They ain't a patch on the Texas Rat... Very much under rated snake... I'm really impressed by them and their voracious appetite...:)

  • this year we have seen alot of northern brown snakes

  • You are lucky to find snakes near by. It is hard to find them where I live but there are Ring neck snakes, they are very secrative though. I was also wondering how much your Mangrove snake was and how hit bite affected you. I don't own any snakes but I have handeled many agressive ones and think I can handel them. Never been bit by a Gopher (bull snake and only a cople time by racers and coach whips.
