Even though she has an attitude problem and always strikes at me I still love her to bits

I love rat snakes. Even though that one looks just like my Corn snake, (red rat snake).

Is she Wild Caught? Just curious because most of them calm down and make great pets.

We have a "Momma" grey Rat snake living somewhere in our shop where I work. I have never seen her, but for the past 3 or 4 years I have to round up her children every spring. The babies usually snap at me when I pick them up but after a few moments they calm down nicely. I usually take them out and turn them loose in the tall grass and rocks by a big drainage ditch.

No she's captive bred but I got her from a breeder 3 weeks ago and she just has a bad attitude. Also she's 6 years so she's stuck in her ways. I'd love to see the babies you see. Sounds fun

Everglades rat snake I'm guessing....
Yeah north American rat snakes (and Asian for that matter) can be docile to evil:devil01:
To each their own personality. Sometimes they need NOT to be handled for a long time for them to trust you. I have a grey rat girl that was mean as can be. I never handled her unless necessary like cage cleaning time. After a couple of years she is now sweet and hand able. She will gently take a FT mouse from my hand now unlike another bubblegum rat I have that comes flying at me every time I open his tub :D
At feeding time it's always a rat snake that bites me!!
