... Looks like an intergrade. Great looking snake though, last year my area was hit with tons of Texas rat snakes but this year I've only found one. Here's a pic of the one I found.Xain

Nice shots. Goes to show you that you don't always get to find stuff just like that. (Like herp shows on tv get one animal after another).

I do have one issue though, bringing it home and releasing it. especially if you have non native species at home. there's too much chance of releasing it with potentialy dangerous bacteria that is harmless to your current collection but not to the native species. Either keep it or don't bring it home in the first place.
