Hello everyone,

I'm interested in the color/pattern variation of yellow rat snakes, particularly those individuals that hail from the Carolinas and Georgia.

While these northern locale animals definitely show integradation with black and gray subspecies, can anyone hypothesize which selective mechanisms retain the longitudinal striping and various hues of yellow?

If anyone has pics of these specimens, can they please post them?

Thanks in advance!
