WOW!! Nice snake period!! Some will say not pure due to black in the tongue indicating yellow ratsnake somewhere in the lineage. It looks similar to pics I have seen of Deckerts ratsnakes, which is a form of the yellow rat if not mistaken.



I think the whole glades rat theory is based on isolated populations in the everglades region that were no longer isolated when the glades region was pumped for farming. These isolated populations are now encroached upon by the more typical looking yellow rats located further north.
