Rat snakes are medium to large constrictors that can be found through a great portion of the northern hemisphere. They feed primarily on rodents and birds. With some species exceeding 3 m (10 feet) in total length, they can occupy top levels of some food chains. Many species make attractive and docile pets and one, the corn snake, is one of the most popular reptile pets in the world. Other species can be very skittish and sometimes aggressive but bites are seldom serious. Like nearly all colubrids, rat snakes pose no threat to humans. Rat snakes were long thought to be completely nonvenomous, but recent studies have shown that some Old World species do possess small amounts of venom (amounts so small as to be negligible to humans).
A stunning species, the White-bellied Rat Snake is rarely encountered as it prefers deeply forested habitat. The snake in these photos was found patrolling a small forest stream, presumably hunting for prey such as frogs and lizards; perhaps fish also form a part of its diet as this specimen was at ease with its head underwater.
