How much for 20 of them? Do you ship them or do I have to pick them up myself?
Thanks for sharing! Do you have names for them? Are you not worried about getting bitten by them?
This was 8ish years ago. I saw them all the time, but I never named them. They would watch me close, and occasionally I could stroke their bodies, but I never really put myself in a position to get bitten. The female was the biggest yellow rat I've ever seen at easily 6-7 feet, but was usually super chill with me putting my camera in her face. The male was a bit smaller, but also more unpredictable and had I got bitten, it would've totally been him. Sadly that tree eventually fell and they moved on right before I did. I'm glad, too though. I doubt the next tenant would've been as gracious as me with the giant snakes in the yard.
Amazing, 6-7 feet! Sounds like they were pretty hospitable neighbors (if not a bit nosy) :)
Just to clarify, yellow ratsnakes are nonvenomous.
It would probably help if I didn't misread as yellow "rattlesnakes"! But thanks for mentioning, I don't know much about snakes at all.
