Kevin,
I have seen yellow rats from coastal NC from Wilmington up to Morehead City. The ones in Wilmington are yellow rats, but with a nice light green color to them. The ones around Morehead City are dirty looking, ugly "greenish" intergrades.

I have found a few rat snakes in the NC Sandhills at the edge of the coastal plain also...roughly 120 miles inland. They tend toward the black rat, but some have been quite "greenish". In fact, I was on a herping trip with Mike Lambert last month and guaranteed him that there were no black rat snakes in the longleaf/wiregrass habitat only to have him find one that is as black as the ones we find in the foothills a few hours later...

The ones I found around Wilmington were real lookers...

Michael
