Black Rat Snake
Elaphe obsoleta
39.3542, -85.9666
Field Notes
Description:
Silver Grey with dark blotches on this juvenile. Adults are mostly dark with vague light areas. Adult can reach over 6 feet. They tend to be aggresive in defense, but after a time, with some handling, they tame down. The first two photos are of the snake in defensive posture.
Habitat:
Lives in buildings, forest and this particular snake was in my basement.
Notes:
I had a 6 footer for a pet and it was tame and would eat mice readily.
