I caught this little one this morning. I guess the rain pushed it indoors. It was in the choir room of the school where I work. I took a couple of pics and plan on releasing it tomorrow. I've caught tx rats before, but this one is a lot prettier than the others. I'm thinking its because its so young. Any responses would be appreciated.

My friend who is deathly afraid of snakes took the pictures. He must have been shaking

I have noticed a sub-adult Texas rat I caught recently had a red tongue, and this snake I am posting (most likely a emoryi) has a grayish tongue. I'm not sure if that is variable though. Also, does it have stripes under the tail? I have been told the one I have is an emoryi, but am still not 100% sure. Your's does look more like a Texas rat than mine, so I think you may be correct.

Red tongue, no stripe. I thought it was a tx rat. It is just a lot more colerful than the ones I have caught before. Thanks for the reply, Jim
