Notice the red between the scales.
Illinois
The one I found a few days ago on my porch had those red scales, the mottled type (not checkered) belly with a tinge of yellow, and had noticable stipeing (sp) more like a yellow rat or greenish rat and some of juvenile pattern even though it was about 4 feet long..and the nicest personality I've ever seen in younger Black rat.(younger meaning most of the ones I find are much bigger than that one)
Nice photos-all of them.
