... I posted a pic already on the Field Herping forum, but thought he belonged here as well. I just love finding a healthy looking snake in the wild.

hey thats an awesome picture but I was wondering what is it? An everglades rat snake?
Man I wish I were there we have snow on the ground

[crimsonking]

Scott, I see yellow rats often and they are quite variable. ( The only snakes I see more often are black racers.) Some are very dark and almost a uniform brown/green instead of yellow. Some are "yellow" as a schoolbus. This one was quite nicely colored and was tinted toward orange. This really made my day as where I found him is only a few miles from my house. He was laying in a mangrove tree overlooking Tampa Bay where I find mangrove salt marsh snakes. It was a nice surprise to see him. Chokeonsmoke-- it's a nicely colored yellow rat snake. The everglades are found farther south.

Mark you're lucky to be able to herp in november. there's not much moving up here anymore not that the cold has set in

[crimsonking]

Lisa, believe me I do consider myself lucky! Did you see my recent post of the eastern diamondback on the "Field Herping" forum?

Very nice pic!

I love seeing pics of "arboreal" snakes in plants.

I agree with Vanan, I love pics of snakes in plants/trees.
