What kind of ratsnake is this?

subrahmanya Jan 21, 2008 05:57 AM

I'm wondering what kind of ratesnake this is.
It has no black.
It looks like an butterscotch but than again maybe it's a lava because the snake got black eyes.
I can't figur it out.
I hope someone can help me.

Definately a Pantherophis guttatus x P. obsoletus hybrid. Possibly hypomelanistic.

Subrahmanya Jan 21, 2008 09:59 AM

I've got this snake from someone who also got an P.guttatus and a P.obsoletus. Perhabs this is the offspring.
Thnx for the answer.

Regardless of the one in question, the cornsnake could certainly use some more "meat" on it's bones!

best regards, ~Doug

Yes i know. I have a reptile animal rescue.
I get snakes from people who cannot take care of their snake anymore.
These snakes are not taking care of for a long time.
So that is my job now.

DMong Jan 21, 2008 01:58 PM

Oh!, okay,.......hope they do much better now in their new environment.

They are doing fine now.
They have a great apetite, so i don't think it will take long before they have a healthy weight.

Rick D Jan 21, 2008 09:28 PM

Obsoletus? but it does look like it's a hypo.

MCConstrictors Feb 20, 2008 10:14 AM

Maybe some element of the diffused gene in there as well? The sides of the snake look like they blend into the saddles... a lot like some of the diffused morphs in corns right now. Just a thought.

That link will not work because when you grabbed it, you were still logged in to your account in Photobucket. We can not access your account, you need to copy the link which is publicly accessible instead.
Looks like a yellow rat snake to me, mostly. A bit faded in some places.
