Rat Snake

The Maddest Hatter
This is a rat snake ((At least I'm pretty sure it is)) I went to a local pet shop and somebody had caught it and brought it in. I offered to release it behind my house where the green belt runs away from traffic and construction. Set him go this afternoon when it was nice and warm in a place with a bunch of hidey holes and such. I hope to see a 5 foot rat snake one day *crosses fingers* a couple years back we had one in our tree so hopefully this guy will stop in for a visit. Sorry for the horrible pictures >< He wouldn't hold still and this morning he was striking after a night of being warm.

could it be a hybrid? Therefore proof that hybrids exist in the wild too....? just really looks so alike....
 
Its an emoryi ratsnake. A western cousin of the corn snake.

Very nice! Its always nice to see an emoryi.
 
I thought kisatchies came from TX and LA. It looks like one except for the belly pattern, which is insane btw. I would have given it a home:(
 
It's a little spit fire for sure. I thought it was better to release him, he didn't seem to like it too much in a tank and I thought it was unfair to him, he's probably a couple months old or so judging on his size ((which means nothing)) so I fed him, let him digest for 3 days to wait for a warm afternoon and then let him go. The green belt runs into a wild life/hiking park so I'm sure he'll find his way there and live a good life.
