LOL.....no worries.
A lot of people mix up eatern rats with northern racers. I have to ask though....how is its temperment? Everyone I've talked to has said how aggressive racers are, but from the three wild snakes I've encountered, I've found them to be really mellow, to the point that they don't even mind being picked up and handled. I even have pics of my mother-in-law holding a wild 4ft. Northern racer that I had caught in DE..and she's NOT really a snake person.
