: Do 6-month old ratsnakes exibit male breeding behaviors such as loss of appetite and roaming?

Not in the few species I've raised.

: Or how old are they usually before this happens?

Six month old rat snakes are not sexually mature, though I've heard of a few 9 month old male corn snakes breeding. Figure that the first breeding takes place in the second or third spring of the snake's life.
