 Black rat snakes?

I’ve been set on carpet pythons but Ive recently gotten really interested in black rats.

how much would one of these go for at a show?
and would you prefer them or carpet pythons?

also post some pictures of full grown ones (:

They (at an expo) go from anywhere from $20-$70.
Black rats are a lot of fun, have great personalities, colors, and you can find many different morphs of them.
I personally would choose a black rat over a jcp, but if your looking for a small- medium sized python... jcp is the way to go. Also, remember black rats get 7 feet on some occasions.

If you want any specific information on the black rat snake feel free to pm me. I’d be glad to help.
Best of luck!

I think I might, but it’s a really tough decision :|

How big do they get?
like the girth, not the length

I usually like more heavy bodied snakes,
but not like the burms or anything like that

If its full grown, it can be 2" or a little more "s thick... but some are more "fat" than others, it depends on the snake and the diet.
