I have native black rat snakes in my area (just a different color variation of the yellows) & I know what you mean...I can just imagine my 2.2 Florida rat snakes
if they were wild...as you said> -LOL. Mine are c/b blend of yellow/gulf hammock & probably some Everglades (one has a fair amount of orange). I've kept
most of their c/b "cousins" (grey, Everglades, amel. blacks etc.)- they make good pets if c/b but nowhere near as docile as corn snakes are. Formidable snakes!
