I love the variation in the look of Bairds rat snakes. I recently acquired a female that is much darker than the one I’ve shown pics of here in the past. She’s still getting used to her new surroundings and is a bit shy.

Caught her out on the log tonight and snapped a few quick shots before she crawled away.

Here’s my lighter-colored female for comparison.
Both of them are VERY nice indeed!. Great looking photos as well..
