On the Texas Rat you say he is high orange, but he does not look that orange how orange do they get and I am guessing it gets brighter as they age just like corns?

I am getting to the point where I am just not to sure where the whole thing about house snakes biting came from. I used to think it was from WC animals but I have about 10 of my House snakes that are WC and one of them is a biter and she is not that bad. The rest are all as gentle as a corn or king.

The one that bites do not "hurt" but she draws blood pretty good they have very long teeth for thier size.

On the Texas rat yep he will get more orange but it will never be like an okeetee corn or anything like that. It is a nice hughe or orange but not real bright as they get older.
