Probably you have seen yellow rat snakes, in which the babies and very small juveniles will look exactly like gray rat snakes. They don't get the actual yellow coloration until they get some size and age on them. |
I was in Levy county when i saw what i though was 3 small Gray rat snakes. The area just about on the coast and i saw the biggest snakes up there over the years. Almost stepped on a big cotton mouth once while looking for tree rats.
Think i have seen maybe 3 yellow rat snakes over the years while living in Tampa and Pasco. 90% is black snakes.
