Tim, Glades rats have always been interesting to me and certainly a snake subspecies/morph/locality I never really understood much about. There seems to be much debate as to their valididty. Still, IMO there is no mistaking "good" Glades from even the brightest yellows, from hatchlings to adult. I have a yearling female S. Florida yellow who is yellowing up nicely with nice orange eyes. Still, she is much darker than other Glades I have had in the past. The male I have was advertised as Glades, but I am having reservations. The denotation of him being Glades was based on the range his parents originated from, and I suspect he is just a really nice orangish yellow rat LOL!!! Thankfully several folks have strived to keep good locality animals with line bred traits going to ensure you can still find "Glades".
