This is crazy!
From climbing straight up the trunk of a tree to climbing straight up a building, Rat Snakes are incredible climbers. Since they also enjoy eating birds and eggs, besides the "rats" that they get their name from, climbing comes in handy. I remember the first time I saw one climbing a tree trunk without using any branches...
It was this one, as captured by @vcelier during his visit to our homestead last year. The snake almost impressed me as much as @vcelier! Anyway, here are some crazy climbing photos for you to enjoy! Be careful out there, snakes could be almost anywhere!

They are amazing climbers. One climbed an oak tree and got on the roof of my cabin. I didnt see it do it but It had to be how it got up there...

Animals are so impressive. How do they do it? I have hands, and I can't do that without spikes on my boots!

I have seen snakes crawl walls and trees here, but they weren't rat snakes. I have no idea which species of snake they are but they are fascinating.
