Yellow rat snakes reproduce through oviparity, meaning they lay eggs. Typically, the female will find a suitable location, such as rotting logs or leaf litter, to lay a clutch of 6 to 30 eggs. After about 60 to 70 days of incubation, the eggs hatch, and the young snakes emerge fully formed and independent. These snakes usually breed in the spring and early summer months.
