E. o. quadrivittata
Found him crawling up my house before school. I always thought that my region had nice colored rats too bad you can't tell in disgraceful phone pictures. Can't expect to much more from a new guy without a camera.

Nice find...

Yellow rats are awesome!
Re: E. o. quadrivittata
I know it's a young snake but sure looks a lot like a "Gulf Hammock" rat - formerly considered a distinct race - williamsi. What county is that from?

Re: E. o. quadrivittata
Wish I had better pictures. Considering the length of the snake the patterns are oddly prominent. I live in Beaufort County, S.C, on a barrier island called Hilton Head. I'm sure some of you have heard of it, it's a pretty popular vacationing spot. Rats are pretty scarce on this side of the bridge.

Yeah, I was thinking Gray or Gulf hammock too. It doesn't say YR to me.
Cool find from your side of the bridge!

Re: E. o. quadrivittata
It’s a Yellow.
SnakeStick, your SC coastal yellows hold their juvenile patterns much longer than Florida yellows.
There is often a hint of a blotch pattern as adults.
This is also a Beaufort County yellow:
As first seen…. At this distance and in this habitat, I expected a King:
Walking up cautiously:
A little closer:
At about 5 feet, she had a hint of a juvenile pattern:
