Re: please help identify
I totally agree ... Yellow Rat snake. Don't have them around my area, but have done herping near the coast and was fortunate enough to see them in the wild.

Re: please help identify
hey,
even much later,100% Yellow Rat Snake,Ive got two of these beauty's.pic in my photo gallery album"other reptiles",they do very well when found very young or captive raised,you pic shows some age,so it would probably of been a hand full,their not as calm as Red Rats,even with mine,I need to be careful,there are times when they appear to be ready to strike out at me,and they have a heathly appetite.my three footer could easily eat 4/5 large mice a week.
