Rat Snake

Rat Snakes, nonvenomous snakes commonly encountered in Thailand, can grow up to 6 feet in length and display diverse colors and patterns. These nocturnal creatures are adept climbers, frequently spotted in trees and shrubs. Their diet primarily consists of small rodents like mice, rats, and voles, although they are also known to consume eggs, birds, and lizards. Rat Snakes inhabit a wide range of ecosystems, spanning from rainforests to grasslands. For wildlife enthusiasts exploring Thailand's biodiversity, encountering Rat Snakes can be a rewarding part of the experience.
