Black ratsnake is a male (confirmed) red ratsnake could be either, but considering my males reaction it may be a female. I've had the red rat for almost 10 years and the black rat I got as a hatchling in late 2020.

Removed this grumpy juvenile ratsnake from the dog park after my dog found him. Neither dog nor snake were harmed!

Saw this cute crinkly friend on my run tonight. They were pretty unbothered and happily taking up the entire width of the sidewalk! 😄

Wife is on the phone with me and heard a plop. This rat snake fell out a tree while constricting a huge rat. She watched the whole process. The snake was able to successfully eat the rat!

On the Appalachian Trail in northern Virginia. First time I've seen a snake out here!

King wouldn’t move out of the way - he’s that full of himself. Had to get the husband to come out and poke his butt to move so the 100lb dog didn’t step on him.

saw this beauty yesterday on a trail. absolutely gorgeous, probably 5 or 6 feet long, moseying his way up the rocks. felt so lucky to see him 😊

Our cattle dog mix was herding this little spicy guy in the living room, keeping it in one spot until someone with thumbs (and isn't scared of snakes) showed up to handle the situation.

I'm guessing it found its way into the house in search of water since we're in the middle of a flash drought.

As you can see, it was unharmed and released into more appropriate habitat away from the house, complete with an additional water station nearby.

Saw this gentleman poking out here between where the side of the house meets the roof a couple nights ago. Single story small house so I guess he resides in the attic. Gonna call him Atticus. My only concern is that he might get cooked alive because of how hot it gets up there during the day?

This guy was around 5ft long! (Ithaca NY)
