In Reply to: What Kind of Rat Snake is this? posted by Amy on July 10, 2002 at 21:07:06:

: Hi! I live outside San Antonio, Tx. I found what I believe to be a rat snake in my back yard. He's about 4 foot long and is mostly black with kind of a checkard patern on his back. He has orange around the markings on him. He doesn't really look like the normal "Texas Rats" you see around here. What could he be?

: -Amy

If you are certain at all that he is a rat, and then even more a texas rat @ that, you have found the sweet looking Orange Phase Texas Rat. They have orange between the scales, especially more towards the head, and a slightly lighter pattern (At least I think).
I have a yearling, and the looks pretty sweet. If Dwight Good still had his page up you could see a pic, but check the ratsnake board or type in Orange Texas on a search and feast your eyes

f.y.i. - There is also a "Yellow Phase", and I think something else, perhaps red.
