I have 4; two are 2012 red throats, two are 2013 all-blacks.
He's not really running free; he's just out for a well-supervised outing. They are not nearly as fast as, say, a Whipsnake (3-4 mph).....which is WAY slower than a Black Mamba (10mph)
Besides, snakes "flee" when they're scared, and the older two snakes are not scared of anything.... although you'll note the neck is slightly puffed up, in reaction to the cat. They know each other fairly well by now, although with close supervision, and no contact.
All the snakes eat as much as I can convince them to eat, generally once a week. The '12 male in the top 3 pictures ate 3 adult mice last Saturday, the '13 all black boy in the last picture ate 4 hopper mice.
