Please educate me on how you differentiated between a rat snake and a YBWS. My view is that the pattern could go for either snake, but the head shape is more like a rat snake. What tips the scale to either snake?12f Mane said:Prognightmare said:

Head shape is a bad way to differentiate for a novice, IMO. Head shape can vary within the species depending on age, size, etc.agent-maroon said:Please educate me on how you differentiated between a rat snake and a YBWS.

Is there a purpose of the keel/ridge on the scale?
Sorry if I've missed this, but what do you do with everything you catch?MouthBQ98 said:
OK, I'll quit holding out on everyone and update a grab bag of recent captures. Tonight was a warm, still, humid night, and I ended up getting two juvenile copperheads, and also found a 30" rat snake and a 5" texas brown.
And now for some pics:
