Day - 60 of the Black Rat Snake rescue and the snake is looking better than ever. Today he had a complete shed, all 4.5' in one piece.
Last night he ate 10 large pinkies and another 10 today. I plan to release him at our barn which should be ripe with mice for him to feed.
The guy that bails the hay from my pasture cut day before yesterday but hasn't bailed. I plan to wait till he bails for the added snake safety but I hope to have him released next Friday.

Day 65 will wrap up my Black Rat snake rescue with a release at my barn. Over the last week we loaded him up with 30 pinkies over 3 feedings so he is leaving with a full tummy.
We released him in a room in the barn that had a hole in the door. After an hour he had found his way out and was off on his way to do what it is that Black Rat snakes do. This has been good for the snake and a great learning experience for me and my wife.

Once again, good job with this rescue! Probably the luckiest black rat snake ever!
