It's any one of the North American rat snakes... Black, Grey, Yellow or Everglades because they raid chicken coops and eat chicks and eggs.

Occasionaly Bairds rat snake too, but they rarely grow big enough to actually eat chicken eggs.


Just do a search for Elaphe obsoleta or Pantherophis obsoletus on google

You need to be more specific, though I suspect you are talking about Spilotes

Tiger rat out for a stroll

This is my friend Mike's spilotes, more commonly known as a tiger ratsnake. Why are you looking at them? If you've been offered one get them to confirm the scientific name, that way you will know exactly what they have. "Chicken snake" is a very broad term that could be one of many species.

If have been looking for a female for the spilotes in the link for a while now.

Edited to add.. if you do not have much snake experience I wouldnt recommend you even think about a tiger rat tbh.
