Snakes

Snakes are one of the predators of rats that eat rats popularly. Tiny animals, including both big and small kinds of mice and rats, provide the majority of the snake's diet's nourishment. As one of the most effective rat catchers, snakes are also highly regarded because of their crucial role in regulating the rat population. The natural habitats of many rodents closely resemble snake habitats.


One of them is even called the rat snake. Rat snakes can only kill prey through constriction since they lack venom. And thankfully for humans, they tend to stay away from conflict and are usually harmless. Numerous species of rat snakes are seen around the world.


The longest snake in North America is the black rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus), which may reach lengths of over eight feet. As their name implies, they typically hunt on rats and are rather widespread in the Southeastern United States, however, they may also be found as far north as New England and Michigan. These snakes are common in metropolitan settings, where rats may be found in barns and abandoned buildings. The patterned orange snake known as the corn snake (P. guttatus) is found in the southeast United States. Since at least the late 17th century, farmers have utilized corn snakes to manage rodent infestations. The snake gets its name from its propensity to live close to grain storage.
