Ok for the last couple months I have been posting photos of this snake as a White Oak Grey Rat but over the last 2 months it has been changing its color alot and now I am think it is something else, heres two photos of it just out of shed taken today. These are its true colors, it is about 18" and 9 months old I got it from a petshop who ordered it from somebody in california, and it has orange/red eyes. Thanks. Dave.

I think what you have there is an Everglaves Rat Snake. I am guessing this from the "red" eyes that you said it has. The sadles will become stripes as it grows. It doesn't get as large as a grey, but it is a very nice snake.

I dont know if you have an everglades. Here is a pic of mine and he is going on 6 months old.
They are pretty variable and can come in lots of different shades of orange. Yours looks like he has retained his saddles alot more than mine has, so that is why I dont know. Does his eyes look like an albino or do they look more like my snakes eyes, orange with a black pupil?
