new pics ...what kinda rat

xblackheart May 06, 2006 04:19 PM

I bought this ratsnake a while back. It was sold to me as a black rat. On the guys website, it says "brown phase black rat". Unfortunately it does not have a pic of a juvenile, so I don't know for sure. I posted pics once, but they were not the greatest. These ones are not much better, but I figure since she is a little older, it might help. The camera seems to add a bit of brown to her. To me, she is more silver-ish.
Tell me what you think

Thats a Yellow rat snake.... Def. not a black rat, Maybe a yellow x everglades rat intergrade, but doesnt look pure glades at all,. Still a very nice snake.

Thanks for the reply. The snake was supposed to be a "brown phase" black rat from this place.......
