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.
This is a very common snake in our area. The black rat snake starts life as a gray and brown snake, seen in the pictures at the bottom of this page. As the snake matures the back turns almost all black, although some remnants of the young snake's pattern can still be seen even in a large adult. These. snakes can grow over 6 feet long.
