yah im psyco lol after church today me 'n my friend were out side sticking out feet im my pool and the lady across the street knocks on my door and tells my mom she needs me? soo I go to see what she wants and she said theres a snake in my bush my son (he is in his 20's) almost steped on it and in went up in the bush.... so I go to see what kind it is (fully prepared with a pillow case and a hook) so I look and the snake's head was stickin out of the bush about 3 inches I estamated he was anout 2-3 feet... and he was a Black racer also known as a black rat XD so I look in the bush to find his tail and I grabed it and it got out of my hand (he never left the bush untill I had him) after a few more trys of grabing or poking his tail and failing I poked again and his tail hent out on top of the bush I grabed it and out swinging and gaping comes this 3 and 1/2 foot black racer ready to bite me, hi striked only to fail and he weaved his head into the chain link fence in did himself and tryed to bite again. he taged me so I let him bite the bag and I put it over him and *tah-duh* picked him up and just as I picked him up my mom walked up and saw him and said "well that dident take long lol" im like nope and I put him in the bag said thanks for geting me and not killing it and went home XD now I have a VERRY health and VERRY fisty temp racer....

k well I have a few q on him,

First off Nice answers please. If you dont think I should do this, just say no and give me a slight reason. no flaming...

i plan on keeping him for at least 2 months, mostly as a research kind of thing... as for handling should I keep holding his head like that or after a few days test him by letting him have more "freedom?" I scrub my arms after holding him cause I dont want to spred mites or anything like that to my snakes. As for mites on him, should I treat him for mites and internal parasites and all that so he is healthy when I release him?

I am getting a 20 gal tank free from a friend. so I will be geting one of those cool 20 gal tank covers with the hinge in the middle lol I have him in a pillow case for the time being till I get the tank and stuff tomarow

Oh! and should I give him a nice full belly tomarow? i have some baby rats that look like there wild

If youre planning on releasing him you may want to only treat him for mites. As for parasites when hes released agin hes just going to be reinfected, but you may want to get him treated for that too, mainly to protect your other herps And feeding wise, youre going to feed him live Im assuming so you can go ahead and try getting him to eat for ya but if he dosnt eat it within an hour or so take it out, you dont want the rat to give him any bites.good luck!

im going to try F/T if that doesent work i'll try the "nerve" efect if that doesent i'll give him somthing to bite
