 Grey rat snake with hint of yellow in scales?

Last year a bought what I was told was a grey rat snake. and today noticed there was some skin on side left from shed so did the sink thinkg for swim damp cloth etc. but i noticed that she has some yellow in her scales not a lot. its berely noticeable. has anyone ever encountered this? is it becaue shes prob a cross with somethign else or disease? I have slight concern bout disease or parasite because i dont wanna loose her i not to concerned if it a cross breed thing. just wondering if anyone else has run across this. the yellow is on edges of scales and onl certain coloured ones mainly closer to the belly and it is VERY feignt only caught it by chance but when look close can def see it. thnx for the help

this happens often they both probably have some yellow rat in them somwhere, the two species interbreed often...
