This what he wants to know
(They are definitely rat snakes...I had said that...I just dont know if they are grey rats or texas rats or a combo of the two. I have had a ton of corn/rat snakes...and all other kinds for that matter. It looks like the large one might be a texas becasue of the red/orange on the side but I thought they were more brown. Thats why I think might be a cross too. Let me know what they say tho...im curious.)
Here is other pic of the last snake. O it is part of a flower on his head

Its hard to say if they are intergrades or not. I have however found many grey rats with the orange/red in them.

Not sure on the top one , bottom pic appears to be a rough earth snake, but could be a worm snake or a mud snake, all look very similar.

hope is not a strategy
That flower has legs...
Yeah, that last one is a Rough Earth Snake.
I don't think there's anything that intergrades with Texas Rats in your area. Texas Rats are highly variable, and that's what I'd say all those Rat Snakes are.
The tiny red invertebrate looks like a Velvet Mite - which are harmless to snakes.

I agree Tim,......
A Velvet mite, and Rough Earth Snake. And those Ratsnakes from that general area and on south and west would definitely be Texas Rats. According to a few range maps I have, just below the MS., LA. Border there can be some converging influences from the Gray Rat in a couple of the counties there. As you stated though, they can have alot of variation anyway, and since it is virtually impossible to say with any certainty that they have any Gray rat influence or not, I would call those Texas Rat's as well.
