I've skinned a lot of black rat snakes over the years. My niece dropped a dead one off today that was 4'8" long and very fat. When I opened it up there were 5 baby rabbits in it. Of all the rat snakes I've skinned, I've never seen a mouse inside one. I have found quite a few with rabbits in them.

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I never would have thought that a rat snake would be able to catch and eat a baby rabbit. Just another reason I don't care for snakes

I bet those were still in the nest and couldn't move very fast.

Almost a silent-hidden small mammal killer.
