Maybe in the very extreme eastern portion of the county ....maybe, but I know populations from Conway that are most DEFINITELY Yellow x Black "greenish" ratsnakes, and can be very dark gray to the point of almost looking like Black Rats. My friend has not seen either pure forms of Black, or Yellow there in his immediate area in 20 years! I have seen plenty of range maps that depict a clear path on the eastern seaboard that is "supposed to be "pure yellow", but that is pure BS, and is only very generally speaking. There is no clear path, they most definitely "bleed" into areas there.

I have seen pics of many he has captured from there, and they are by no means pure Yellow Rats at all.
