Snakes, including rat snakes, are reptiles.
Baby black rat snakes primarily eat small prey such as insects, small rodents, birds, bird eggs, and sometimes amphibians. They are skilled hunters and use their keen sense of smell to locate their prey. As they grow, their diet will expand to include larger prey items.
all snakes are born when the mother snake lays the eggs with the baby snakes in them and then the snakes hatch out of the eggs. Edit: Not ALL snakes lay eggs - some give birth to live young.
