Name that Morph

Oooh a yellow rat snake! I have one of those. A feisty male. And by feisty I mean he hates, bites, and musks everyone. They do have awesome eyes though - nice, bright and orangey in comparison to the body. I wish mine were nicer. I rescued him from a lab, where he was supposed to end up as food for a kingsnake. Perhaps he was traumatized! He does have a rather impressive scar on his right side...

Sorry, rambling. As far as breeding goes, you could breed it with a corn, but I don't think hybrids are quite as popular because the color variations are more limited. But if yours is a girl and you want more yellow rats, I'll give you mine!!!

Yeah many yellows tend to stay a bit nervous. You have to move very slowly and deliberately while holding them. Then I have had had some that tame down very nicely too. The Everglades tend to have better dispositions. As for breeding them with a Corn, it's not impossible, but I don't think it's as easy as putting them together and presto. I actually tried many years ago and they didn't care for each other at all. Now I'm glad they didn't, cause it would have been an ugly combination probably.
