Doesn't look full grey to me. I have a grey rat snake and it looks different.

Looks to be either a yellow rat snake or an integrade with yellow rat genes mixed in.

Gray rat snakes are VERY variable depending on their locality. Just the ones here in SW Alabama vary. The ones from Mobile County look more like TX rats and the ones in Baldwin Co are more of the "oak phase" look.

This is correct. My grey is a white oak phase. However op your snake doesn't seem to have any characteristics of a grey.

It could also have bairds rat snake genes in it. No one can know for sure except the breeder of the snake if it is CBb.

Yeah, the guy I got him from said he bought him in Florida. But with his temperament and living conditions(much less the people who gave him to me having dirt floors and such) I'm starting to wonder if he was wild caught...

That might just be it. I'm surprised, since I have never seen a grey rat that looked like that. The only ones I have seen were white oak phases and the normal, darker phases that look like texas rats.

Re: Can you ID my newest friend?
yeah i think its one of those cases where they aren't usually that color but it can happen. I mean it wouldnt be called the gray rat snake if it was usually that brown/greenish color haha
