We have a similar situation out here on the east coast with yellow ratsnakes. Good luck finding a true yellow rat. When they cross with a black rat (and they do quite often cross with black rats) You get a greenish ratsnake. It's pretty much like a yellow except it's kinda oliveish green more than yellow. You can see a good bit of green in most of the wild yellows you find. Now and then a pretty yellow/orange pops up...come to think of it...could be some cornsnake mixed in those lol...who knows? Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what something is.
