Awesome pictures...
When you find them in the wild do they ever try to bite?

Brownsville, a few years ago.. it was nosing in the door of my snake room while I was working.. (that's not me with the snake)..
Just shy of 7' and still a young (looking) animal.. the spots and stripes won't show on a big snake like that unless they are putting on a display.

Gorgeous animals.
Texans vary a lot across the range...the snakes from your region look very similar to the stock I have, so at least I can make a guess as to where the founding stock may have come from.
PS: I do have some large mature specimens that still show the "barring" like the big one you are holding.
That has to be tough to set those things down...but cool to know they are living on your property.
Are the fairly common where you are?
