Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I caught a Gray Corn snake last night!
I went road cruising last night and I came across a snake crossing the road. (N.W. Jacksonville Florida) I got out and picked it up and my first thought was it was a young Yellow Rat but after looking at it closer it wasn't!! It was gray and looked just like a corn snake with the checkered belly. (Probably a year old and you can tell if it is a yellow rat or not, I even caught a year old yellow rat last night and it looked nothing like this Gray Corn snake) I have never caught a Gray Corn and honestly never thought about them till I looked in my book when I got home so most of last night I thought I had caught a Gray Rat and was shocked that I found one in Jacksonville. I have only caught Gray Rats in Tallahassee. From what I understand Gray Rats are not this far east, mostly the panhandle.
I don't keep the snakes I catch and let it go but 2 minutes down the road I thought, that was a rare find and I should go back and catch it. Of course I couldn't find it but now I am really kicking my self. (I wish I had my camera!!!) I'll probably spend many nights on that road now looking for him or his sisters and brothers.
I'm kicking myself right now. Errrr!

Could be an anery corn, but could also just as easily (and more likely) be a young black rat, or grey rat. Got any pics?

Heck, the wife and I saw a DOR California king snake about an hour west of Jacksonville on route 90, so ANYTHING is possible.

Isn't it most likely a gray rat snake?

Sounds like a yearling black rat snake.
