: : : I don't know if it is the same where you were looking, but where i live chicken snakes are Yellow Rats and the intergrade rats (yellow and Black rat cross). These are "chicken snakes" in NC & SC. Hope this hellps and good luck.

: : This was in Bastrop, Texas, and it's about 1 hour east of Austin. My Granny has also talked about seeing chicken snakes when she was a kid. She lived in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and I don't think their the same "chicken snakes" that are in Bastrop. Scientific names sure help...

: Snakes I have seen refered to as "chicken snakes".....Mostly E.obseleta(nearly all subspecies),but also E.g.emoryi,E.g.guttata,P.m.sayi,P.m.melanoleucus,P.m.mugitus,and even L.getula.Mostof the time,if you ask someone to describe a chicken snake,it will turn out to be the local subspecies of Elaphe obseleta.

I have something stealing a baby duck a night from the chicken house. It is funny because there is no way for anything to get in or out, all holes have been filled with cement. What does a chicken snake look like?
