Oriental Rat Snake

The Oriental Rat Snake is a non-venomous snake species found in Thailand. It exhibits a size variation ranging from 2 to 6 feet and can display colors that span from olive green to black. While its natural habitat includes forests and grasslands, it may also be encountered in urban areas. An essential component of its ecological role is predation on rodents, contributing significantly to rodent population control. Due to its docile nature and ease of care, the Oriental Rat Snake is a popular choice as a pet in Thailand, with a potential lifespan of up to 20 years under proper care.
