I have caught many black rat snakes over the years, mostly in my hen house eating eggs! I know who they are at a glance! Their blocky type head, markings, ect. We have quite a few blue racers here. Ive caught a few of them. They are very mean and very fast! Their heads are narrow with pronounced eye brows! Their bellies are a very pretty, shinny purple blue! 2 years ago I saw what Im calling a hybrid b.r.\b.r. cross zip across our yard! I knew when I saw it what it had to be! That fall, I came upon a snake wrapped around a 3\4 grown wild rabbit (it was already dead)! The rabbit was a semi tame rabbit we enjoyed watching. Anyway, I killed it because of that, and realised it was the hybrid! I hoped there may be another one in the batch! And I happened upon one getting in our house threw a hole in the wall! Upon close examination this snake from mid snake to head is black rat! Mid way to tail is BLUE RACER! It is amazing to look at! I took some photos, but need someone to hold it while I take detailed pics! My Wife wont do it! But I'll get it done and post them! Right now I'll post the best I have at this time!
