Yellow rat snake

[crimsonking]

Saw this guy at work this morning. Fairly typical coloration for around here, maybe a little dark. Snapped a pic or 2, then let him climb this tree. Maybe I'll see him again. Lots of racers around today also.

MAN. I am not a big colubrid fan. But for as long as I can remember Yellow Rats have always put me in awe.

One of my first "pets" was a yellow rat. They are strong snakes and climb with the best of 'em. I cannot remember a yellow that would not eat for me, including many, many wild caught. One of the more common snakes here in central FL., they too are quite variable.

Great photos mark, where are you lucky enough to work?

[crimsonking]

Obviously, I do most of my work outdoors. Maintaining a few condo associations and the properties. Much less boring when you get visits from herps like these. I really enjoy seeing the herps and knowing they are pretty much "going about their business" without many humans knowing they are even there.

Katt, be careful what you wish for! I just got a memory card for my camera on my b'day. No doubt you'll have to put up with more.
