Texas rat snakes begin life out of the egg at just over a foot in length, then grow to be around five feet as adults. They will stay lean throughout their lives. The average Texas rat snake will reach between 10 and 15 years of age. Exceptional individuals may live more than 20 years.
Gray Rat Snake. 25-84 inches. Tan or gray with large dark brown or black blotches down the back and a smaller series on each side; some scales yellow, orange or red producing a calico effect; underside white anteriorly, grading to gray or pale brown with obscure markings towards the tail. Young rat snakes are pale gray with dark brown blotches. Scales slightly keeled on the middle of the back, and in 25-27 rows. The Western and Gray rat snakes are distinguished on the basis of genetic differences rather than appearance. Use distribution to identify rat snake species.
