It is some sort of ratsnake. looks like a Yellow Rat/GrayRat intergrade.

I agree. I think the very yellowish/orange tint in most of the photos there is very likely from incandescent bulb from just above beaming directly down on the snake though. Here is one of the photos that show the upper portion of the snake to be much grayer colored that is away from the direct lighting.

I think it's probably a clean, typical looking Gray Ratsnake (P.spiloites).

Yeah, no doubt spiloides or mostly so, at the least. Ssp quadrivittata would have lost most if not all of the blotches by that size, & have stripes. ~~Greg~~

That is spot-on, Greg!

I didn't notice there was more than one photo. Change my vote to Gray Rat as well. Probably from the southeastern part of their range.
