The gray rat snake can have such markings, and even the common black rat snake can show gray bands when distended.
ALL snakes are carnivores - regardless of the species.
snakes have tales!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they also love humans so next time u seee a snake, make it seem small and it will bite u!!!!!!!!!!! Please disregard the (*) who wrote the above answer. There are many kinds of snakes. Most are not harmful, and some are helpful (king snakes and rat snakes for example).
We call them rats because their scientific name is Rattus norvegicus. All the pet and lab rats are belonging to this species. The tiny black colour, house hold rats are under the species of Rattus rattus.The strain name depends on what kind of rat it is.l
There are two base colors of rats, black and agouti. Agouti is the 'wild-type' rat, and it is designated with an A and is dominant. Black is the recessive form of agouti, and is designated with an a. So if you have a black rat, he is doubly recessive (aa). When you say 'white rat', I'm assuming you mean your rat is a pink-eyed-white or an albino. Rats can get this way in two different ways, either they are homozygous for albinism (cc) or they have so many other recessives that it washes out their color entirely. I am willing to bet it is an albino, as they are very common in pet stores. The problem with albinos is that when a rat is homozygous for albinism (cc), it makes them albino no matter what their other genes are. This rat could have all kinds of recessives hidden or it could have none. Since you bred your two rats and got both black and 'white' babies, I would say that your black rat carries the albino gene 'c' and your albino rat does not carry any recessives that your black rat has, except for black of course (a). So your albino rat is technically a black rat with two copies of the albino gene. I know it seems kind of confusing =) For more information about rat care including genetics please visit my website at http://careguide.evergreenrattery.com or feel free to email me at info@evergreenrattery.com . Good luck with your rats!
They eat anything, kinda like a racoon; they eat trash fruuit and small rodents and insects
Rat snakes are black,yellow and gray. black ones are from new england.they are harmless.
Snakes, including rat snakes, are reptiles.
Corn snakes are one of several species of North American rat snakes. There closest relatives would be the Eastern Rat snakes (such as Black, Everglades, Gray, Texas, and Yellow Rat snakes), Fox Snakes, and Baird's Ratsnake. Depending upon who you ask, some people consider the Great Plains Rat Snake either a subspecies of Corn Snake, or a separate species.
It depends. Color alone does not identify a species. Some gray snakes, such as the great plains rat snake, are harmless while others such as rattlesnakes, can be deadly. The same goes for black snakes. If you see a snake and cannot identify the species it is best to steer clear in case it is venomous.
No, rattlesnakes and rat snakes cannot interbreed.
That depends. The term black snake can apply to many different species of snake. The black rat snake, Pantherophis obsoletus, sometimes called the black snake, is indeed a rat snake.
Through their nostrils !
Water
yes
obviously grey,but if they have any specific markings it can come out that way too, with the same or different markings.But they should come out the same color as their parents!
