Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Fox snake taxonomy
A month or so ago I saw an ad on KS classifieds listing a Fox snake for sale (don't recall if it was eastern or western) but instead of Elaphe vulpina, they had something not even close listed as the scientific name. I tried to go back and look for it but I couldn't find it. Has there been a taxonomic change in the classification of fox snakes recently?

What you probably saw was the Eastern fox snake, which is now a full species.
Depending on whether or not the generic name change takes hold, the Eastern fox is Pantherophis gloydi or Elaphe gloydi

You are right, It was probably the E. Fox which is now classified as Pantherophis gloydi (or some similar spelling) which is why I didn't recognize it. I wasn't aware of the Genus change and I am more familiar with the western subspecies so I didn't recognize the gloydi part.
Thanks for the quick response Ken
