>>Can anyone tell me anthing about a Yellow Ray Snake that I have (over 7 feet 6 inches) This snake is close to 8 feet or longer.I tape measured it at least 7 foot 6 in.,with several s curls still in the snakes body. Is this snake worth any thing to anyone because of its large size?



it's only worth what someone is willing to give for it.
Is it a nice large specimen? yes. Uncommon? Not terribly.
Is it worth anything to you?
There are too many factors to just say "oh a 7'6" yellow? well that is worth $200.00? Can't really do that. How much time and money have you put into it? How much does someone else want it in their collection? How old is it? Is it a proven breeder? Good clutches? bad clutches? Good eater? Wild caught or captive bred? If wild, how long in captivity? Is it tame?
lot of things to consider...
