Re: Relatively new to snakes
Yes, I need to take more pictures. I may have a few older pictures, but the boa and my rat snake I just brought home last weekend, so I plan on taking a few more. I still have to figure out how to make sure the rat snake will remain still enough to take a picture, it's just a little more than a hatchling.

Re: Relatively new to snakes
And as promised, a few more pictures. This time of the gray rat snake. It's a tiny and rather hungry little thing.

Re: Relatively new to snakes
Your young gray rat snake is not a gray rat snake but rather an anery corn snake.
Gray ratsnakes have a different head pattern. Cornsnakes have the double "chevrons" on their head......Juvenile ratsnakes (obsoleta) do not

Re: Relatively new to snakes
Interesting. So, was I cheated by the breeder? (I will keep the snake, it's been great.)
P.S.: I looked up anery corn snakes, and you are right. I can see a yellow tint develop in the neck region, too.

Either misled or mislabeled by accident. I will let them know this weekend. Other than that I'm very happy with the snake, it's very docile and eats and sheds like a champ.

I think they keep changing Pantherophis emoryi between full status species to sub species of Pantherophis guttatus. I always consider it as great plains rat rather than corn sub species but I am no scientist. I guess I am right sometimes and wrong others depending on what the scientific community think at the time

you got a better deal than you think, IMO, Corns are much better snakes than Rats.

Well, the corn I already have is a great snake. Amazingly resilient, docile, and easy to take care of. I really don't mind that snake the slightest. I would however like to heckle the store clerk a little.
