  • There is no real way to know, but it probably will, when it gets hungry. After all, snakes are meat-eaters, they eat rats, lizards, birds, the lot. Be careful. Put the snake elsewhere ASAP, or release far from your home. (If you don't want to keep it).
  • This species is a constrictor, meaning it suffocates its prey, coiling around small animals and tightening its grip until they can no longer draw breath, before eating them. Though they do consume mice and rats, the Black Rat Snakes also willingly consume other snakes, chipmunks, squirrels, birds, and bird eggs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rat_Snake#Feeding
