Pantherophis alleghaniensis ssp. quadrivittata
Description:
More green than actual yellow like I used to see in Yellow Rat Snakes. This one is called a Chicken Snake locally. Two darker lines run down the length of the body and the traditional rat snake rectangle pattern runs between them.
Habitat:
Notes:
The photo was taken in an aquarium while I tried to figure out the actual species of this snake. We see this coloring all the time, but never the true yellow that I used to see when I lived in Florida. They always look nearly identical to the one in my photo. Around here they call them Chicken Snakes or Yellow Rat Snakes - another color of Elaphe obsoleta (I know the taxonomy has changed now). This coloring is clearly shown in Michael E. Dorcas A Guide To The Snakes Of North Carolina. So, I ve been wondering if it is now just considered a color morph of Elaphe obsoleta, or if I just can t find the proper new taxonomy for it.
