Gray Ratsnake (Pantherophis Spiloides) (43567652625) (cropped)
The gray ratsnake or gray rat snake (''Pantherophis spiloides''), also commonly known as the central ratsnake, chicken snake, midland ratsnake, or pilot black snake, is a species of nonvenomous snake in the genus ''Pantherophis'' in the subfamily Colubrinae. The gray ratsnake is one of about ten species within the American ratsnake genus ''Pantherophis''. Description A medium to large serpent, the gray ratsnake typically reaches an adult size of total length (including tail); however, the record is for a captive specimen at the Ridley 4-H Center in Tennessee. Unlike other ''Pantherophis'', whose conspicuous juvenile pattern fades into adulthood, the gray ratsnake in the southern part of its range does not undergo drastic ontogenetic changes in color or markings. Instead, it retains the juvenile pattern of dark elongate dorsal blotches separated by four, or more, pale gray body scales, a light gray crown with dark striping that forms an anteriorly facing spearpoint, and a sol ...
