I got a "snake call" today at work and was expecting the typical black ratsnake to be there but, this is what I found!She's approx. 3ft. but very light colored and still has the juvie pattern.Further west this would be typical but she was found in Nottoway Cty. Va.I've been here 30 yrs. and the black rats here are usually very black. Jeff
