Here is a more detailed and longer video of my newest arrival. I traded my Goliath Bird Eater in for him as part exchange to knock some money off which actually helped pay for the 4 ft vivarium. I just cannot get over the size of him, I had to buy him as I know that my Corn Snake Blake will never ever get this big. This beast is over 6 feet long and his girth is so thick that I cannot get my hand all the way around his body. He is a bit of a shy feeder tho at the moment and have to leave the mouse/rat in a dish in his vivarium and have to leave the room for him to eat. He is definatley male by his long thick tail and also his wanting to escape behaviour where he is constantly nose rubbing against the glass to try and escape and look for a female. My corn snake does exactly the same as all mature males will do this this time of year. it's their body clock.
note: Here's a quick video of my old snake. a 6 1/2 foot Grey rat Snake, around 6 and a half years old. absoloutley enourmous. just a quick video tho will make a new video when i get the time. he is a male and around 6 and a half years old.
note: i no longer own this snake, he was diagnosed with parasites and at the time i freaked out and sadly at the time i passed him onto a friend who wanted him, apparantley my friend managed to cure him with the behapar anti flaggelate treatment. i instantly regretted getting rid of him though, and it took me a year to find another specimen just like him, check out my newest videos of Magnum- 2.

  • 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

  • Awesommmmeee

  • @4541mikey - if u like tht then check out my newest rat snake video
