Favorite American Rat Snake
 

Just trying to get a feel for everyones favorite North American rat snake. I love the black rats....

I had to go with "other". My favorite is the Red Rat (a.k.a. corn snake), with the Great Plains Rat (a.k.a. emoryi) running a close second. Out of the options specified, I would have to go with Baird's.

BTW: Kudos to you Ron for your efforts in this sub-forum. I've got to remember to say the same to Stephanie in the corn sub-forum. It really was a great idea to have people like you two moderate and reinvigorate these forums. :)

Well thanks Dean. I love being here so I thought the best way to help Rich out and keep this place going strong was to be a moderator.
I also know what you mean about the corns (I own 13 myself). Thanks for the reply and hope to see more of you around here!

Trans pecos for me,with Black rat in 2nd(of-coarse"rad rat"Corn snakes trump all others).

I voted "other" for the Red Rat Snake, my beloved corns, and I voted for Bairdi, a very close, if not even, second.

whooops, I didn't notice the "other"...OF COURSE I love corn snakes (red rats) the most! But Baird's and white-sided black rats follow. (now I just got to get me some white-sided black rats, LOL)

I had to vote for the blackrat.The only ratsnake in my state.So that makes it "big game" in Pa.

I know my beloved black rats will probably never trump corns but you just gotta love a big ol' 6 foot black rat that is draped over his branch in the open and looks at you like "what do you want" when you open the cage. My black rats almost never hide.

I voted other.... I love Senticolis triaspis and can't wait to get my hands on some again! *rubs hands together "soon....soon...."*

Michelle if you do happen to get your hands on some be sure and share some pics with us!
