Chickensnake is a widely used common name for the common ratsnake (Pantherophis obsoletus). I have heard it used with all the subspecies (Yellow, Black, Gray, and Texas Rats).

It is also used for the Tropical Ratsnake (Spilotes pullatus).

There is plenty of info about both species all over the web.
