Love’em all, I personally think they make great pets, a little more active than some corn snakes and kingsnakes atleast during the day, most of’em are well tempered to start off with, there are a few rats that can be nippy from kids but when they grow up they are all awesome pets.

Love rats snakes. After wild caught garter snakes and ring-necked snakes, rats were the first store bought snakes I had 50 years ago when I started this hobby. Corns, black rats, grey rats and even yellow rats - although some of the latter can be nasty - make great pets. I had two wild caught black rats which never bit and no corn I ever had ever bit me. My yellow rat was also quite tame and ate chicken eggs along with rodents. The gray rat I have had a docile temperment.

I have two large Beauty snakes and they are very tame.

And I would rather be bitten by several rat snakes any day than by one mouse or hamster.
