Although most Texas Rat Snakes reach lengths between four and five feet (one and half to one and nine tenths meters), specimens exceeding six feet are not unknown. Their bodies are of a slender type. Although most Texas Rat Snakes are blotched with saddle shapes, these darker patches usually fade as the reptiles age. Younger animals have better defined patterns. The background color of the Texas Rat Snake usually varies greatly from one locale to the next. Many are brown, though others have yellow shades, and some are mostly orange. The scales are keeled slightly. All Texas Rat Snakes have gray or black heads that have lighter white coloration underneath. Leucistic varieties are available, and many captive bred snakes are produced specifically for their unique colorations. It has been reported that bug eyed individuals are usually inbred and are less healthy than other individuals. And for this reason snakes with pure white bodies and black or blue eyes that do not protrude from the head should be used instead as pets or in breeding programs.
