>>are they normally patterned that way?

Thickness and shade of the black stripes varies somewhat, but that's pretty typical. As babies they look very much like a corn, but in shades of greyish brown, very similar to a young black rat I guess.

They are a subspecies of the black ratsnake (or used to be).
