Can anyone tell me anthing about a Yellow Ray Snake that I have (over 7 feet 6 inches) This snake is close to 8 feet or longer.I tape measured it at least 7 foot 6 in.,with several s curls still in the snakes body. Is this snake worth any thing to anyone because of its large size?

it's only worth what someone is willing to give for it.
Is it a nice large specimen? yes. Uncommon? Not terribly.
Is it worth anything to you?
There are too many factors to just say "oh a 7'6" yellow? well that is worth $200.00? Can't really do that. How much time and money have you put into it? How much does someone else want it in their collection? How old is it? Is it a proven breeder? Good clutches? bad clutches? Good eater? Wild caught or captive bred? If wild, how long in captivity? Is it tame?
lot of things to consider...

The head looks like a yellow but that body is grey. Is it a hypo or something? Can you give us a more full body pic?

That is a yellow rat. You may need to adjust your monitor. the yellow body in that shot is muted but not grey.
I will look for a full body shot of him. He went to a friend and from there no telling. I know he sold him.
I found this shot of him. I think he was a little over a year here.

Yeah I noticed this computer doesn't bring out the colors as well as the one in the other room. Yet that snake looks cool. The body is definately less yellow than the head, isn't it? Gray isn't a good word for what it looks like on my end but it is creamy.

Its probably worth forty or fifty bucks at most. Someone may want it if extremely large, but yellows get big easily and its just a matter of time to raise a ten or fifteen dollar baby to a whopping sized adult. The market for wild caught normal yellows is pretty cheap, with most wild caught adults going for much less than fifty bucks!!
