Well it does depend on feeding habits and care in captivity,,, my everglades rat snake which is a little over 7 years old is approximately 2.2 metres
Don't worry, that is legal. They yank the teeth before feeding the rats to the snakes so that the rat won't bite the snake. Anyways, the snake will eat the rat so there is no need to stop it.
Rats... that's why it's called a rat snake.
No. A rat snake is not poisonous.
There is no recognised species called a 'brown rat snake' - HOWEVER - Members of the Rat snake family are constrictors - not venomous.
It won't be easy to "catch" a rat or mouse. You should go to a local pet store instead, and make sure they don't have diseases. I've also heard that if you're feeding a rat to a snake, you should hit it against the wall a few times to dumb it down, that way your snake is not in any danger to be bitten.
That depends. The term black snake can apply to many different species of snake. The black rat snake, Pantherophis obsoletus, sometimes called the black snake, is indeed a rat snake.
The longest black snake in North America is named the black rat snake. The record size recorded of this black rat snake is eight feet in length. Which makes the black rat snake is the record longest.
It's not a symbiotic relationship - they are predator and prey. Snake will eat a variety of food - so long as it's something small enough for them to swallow. Rats will attack snakes if they're cornered, so the snakes don't always get the upper hand.
No.
