Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

Giving this post a bump and at the same time I'm going to guess some type of Bull or Pine snake? Curious to know what others with more experience think.

Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

Looks like an odd combo of motly stripe, possibly ghost, most likely a corn but I'm no expert and would need to see the face better. Bulls and gophers kind of have a furrowed brow that makes them look kinda mean (if I had a bull, I'd name it Muggsy or capone lol)

Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

The head does not look like a corn to me and I have never seen a corn with that muddled of pattern. I am thinking the species is P. obsoletus. Maybe a Texas rat snake or a Calico black rat snake.

Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

Some sort of rat snake for sure...maybe even a hybrid but I can't really say what would comprise it. The head shape is wrong for a corn or bull/pine.

You've certainly got a unique and good-looking animal there! I've never seen anything quite like it!

Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

I agree dosent look like a corn to me either. due to the fact that many of our seasoned knowledgable members cant seem to figure out exactly what it is I'm inclined to think its a hybrid of some sort.

A clear closeup of the head may help

Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

I'm thinking rat snake as well. The underlying pattern reminds me of a Texas rat.

Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

Ok so i was looking up black rat snake morphs and im thinking he could be a mix between the rusty morph and the white sided morph? What do you guys think?

Re: hey guys new here looking for advise

Can I share these pics on one of the facebook rat snake groups? There are some experienced people than maybe will be able to identify your snake, as it's a rat snake for sure. I once saw similiar snake but don't remember what it was.
