Wild caught morphs

[BLUESIRTALIS]

I wanted to post this pic to see what you guy's think. Here in the upstate south carolina we only have black rat snakes, no greenish or grays. I found this little guy and i think im going to keep him just to see if he turns black or not. I think he could be an anery or something. What do you think? The normal is in the pic for comparison.

Beautiful snakes.

I think they're awesome.

Not sure... some babies are just darker like that anyway, so to me he looks normal.

I know what you're saying about some of them being darker but i have never after hatching out hundreds and catching i don't know how many seen one this light. Take a look at the head pattern and the saddles on that snake.

Nice snakes. That baby definitely looks different! It'll be neat to see how it looks as it matures. The ones we have around here are so dark that you can't even see a pattern.

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah, I see what you mean.... ok. He doesn't look normal anymore

[RedSidedSPR]

[RedSidedSPR]
