If you lived in the South, the South, Southeastern part of the United States, instead of the black rat snake, you would find this one here. Now this one will not be found in Maryland or in the mid Atlantic region. This a big old guy here is a gray rat snake, but I show them to you to show you how large the black rats can get. The gray rat has maintained its coloration to juvenile coloration. So this is what a baby black rat will look very, very similar to this. But as you know, the black rat will change as it gets older than this one has maintained its coloration. Snakes are able to swallow large prey food much larger than the size of their head. The snake to this size can take a rat down that's a good three inches in diameter. But again, the snake will only eat when it is hungry. And rat snakes occasionally get into bird's nest. They can be problems on Bluebird boxes. So to prevent them from getting into Bluebird box. Put some metal sheathing on top of the post that the box is sitting on so snakes can't climb on that smooth surface. If it's a bird's nest, you're trying to protect, you take a stick and gently move the snake aside. Just keep, maybe gently discourage him, but by no means do you ever try to harm the snake at all. Okay, so this is a grey rat. An example of what the size of the black rat will be and what the juvenile pattern looks like.
